| − | The ''' | + | The '''Pondskater''' (also called '''Pond skater''') is a small [[bug]] found in [[Holding Pond|ponds]], skating on the surface. It appears during the [[summer]] months, from May/June to September. Because it is found on the water, it can be assumed that to catch it would require a [[Fishing Rod|fishing rod]]. However, just like other insects, it can only be caught with a [[net]] when it is ''skating'' close to the sides of ponds. It can be difficult to find when motionless due to its size, but once it starts moving it is easy to see. It is sold for 130 Bells. |
| − | + | Unlike other surface insects (which are found on the water or on the ground), it is very easy to catch as it won't disappear while attempting to catch it. | |

There are over 500 different variants of pond skaters, all with different body shapes, legs, wings, size, and mannerisms. The reason they "skate" along the water is because underneath their legs and their body, are thin, microscopic hairs which allows them to move across water tension with ease - they also have a slight wax coating, but research has proven that it is more down to the hairs than the wax properties. They have six legs, two pairs are long while the front pair are short and used as rudders. They are predatory insects, feeding on other insects that fall into the water, such as [[ant]]s and even [[Honeybee|honey bees]]. They live in calm water areas, such as domestic ponds. | There are over 500 different variants of pond skaters, all with different body shapes, legs, wings, size, and mannerisms.
