| | | Waterboatman info
Could anyone provide me with an online list of British waterboatman/pond skaters species?
Also any pics that might detail differences in species?
Thanks,
Nige |

Kool thank you.
So are Water Boat Man and Pond Skater two different things then? I always thought they were the same! 
How many different species of Pond Skater do we get in the UK? Or is it just the one?

Nige | Pond Skater - Gerridae - 9 species
Water Boatmen - Notonecta - 4 species
Lesser Water Boatmen - 35+
No on-line key that I know of, I use the FBA key to sort out my specimens. |

Probably not much use for pond skater ID but there is a simple guide for pond creatures generally here: Wat Tyler Country Park Education: Pond life |
