People with swimming pools see them a lot. I enjoy watching them hover, lower, sip quick, and back up in the air.
Cool aeronautical design. Still hasn't been matched. Though sometimes they dive too low and they spin in circles trapped on the surface of the water. I always fish em out with the net. But you'll find some in the filter basket every now and then anyway.
Thanks for the image! An appreciation of nature is a very good thing.

Just by adding width="90%" added after the quoted link inside the html brackets makes it easier to see in one screen. It'll automatically readjust your image size for all screens and resolutions to whatever percentage of the screen you specify.
