I use to catch them when I was a kid, smells like LACTO KING Mithai.
The Zoological Survey of India (ZSI) has named it Ptilomera nagalanda Jehamalar and Chandra. The species was found in the river Intanki, Peren district, Nagaland. Yeh!
Out of nearly 100 species of water striders found in India, what is unique about Ptilomera is that they are only found in rocky, fast flowing streams and rivers that are not exposed to a lot of sunlight, while other species could be found in different water bodies such as open ocean, ponds, pools, lakes, rivers, streams etc.
Ptilomera has long slender legs and measures about 11.79 mm. It has orange with black stripes on the dorsal side and a pale yellowish brown ventral part of the body.
