Water Boatman (Gerridae)

This insect seems to have translucent legs resting on the brownish clear and stagnant water in the forest reserve. The body must be super light for it to stand on the water surface.

Isn't it to be more efficient to have flatter feet than these pointed feet ? No, it will be difficult to move with four flat feet.
