WATER STRIDER
Age: 54-37 million years
Period: Eocene
Location: Green River Formation, Uintah county, Utah, USA
These beetles, which move on water by straddling the surface and supported by surface tension,
have thin, long forelegs and hind legs. Water striders, which belong to Gerridae family, continu-
ously smear the hairs on their feet and so they can stand on water without sinking. Those water
striders that lived 54 to 37 million years ago were no different from those alive today. These beetles
that have remained unchanged for tens of millions of years refute the Darwinists, who claim that
the living species emerged through incremental changes. All living things were created by the
Almighty God, Who created everything.
