I can't resist chiming in bc I'm an entomolgist so I'd like to say Yes there are many bugs that do swim well and live in water (please look up "Gyrinidae", they go spin) but many in fact.. can't. The ones I study will just Die if they fall in water or get too wet bc they're just pathetic like that.

What are we looking at? This is a flotilla of whirligig beetles (Family Gyrinidae). They spend most of their lives swimming arcs and loops at the surface of ponds and lakes; nice work if you can get it. 🌿

#Gyrinidae looks bizarre when you catch them in side profile like this. They have eyes staring above the water and eyes staring into the surface below, each wired to a different part of the brain. This one is quite dusty.

Extreme close-up (macrophotograph) of a whirligig beetle (family Gyrinidae) showing the side of its head and thorax. The beetle has a metallic, iridescent exoskeleton with hues of green, gold, and purple. Two large compound eyes are visible—one positioned for viewing above the water's surface, and the other adapted for underwater vision. Fine sensory hairs and part of the beetle’s mandibles are visible near the mouth. The background is a striking gradient of pink and magenta, creating a surreal contrast with the beetle's dark, glossy body.

getting to the part of this lecture with gyrinids in it and stopped to ask which vertebrates, besides our beloved Anableps, have also evolved the four-eyes thing
