What are the insects that use their skin to walk across thd surface of the stream?
Insects that are able to walk across the surface of water are called water striders. Water striders make use of the high surface tension of water together with their long, hydrophobic legs to stay above water.
What attraction is important to water striders?
Surface tension is important to water striders because surface tension gives them the ability to float and not sink and drown.

Is soap the only substance that can break the waters surface tension?
detergents and water striders can also do that.
What do whaterstriders eat?
Water striders eat small insects that fall on the water's surface,or larvae that live just bellow the surface.
Why can water striders slide over the surface of water?
Due to the unusually strong cohesive forces between water molecules, water has an unusually high surface tension. Water striders take advantage of this surface tension by "walking" over the water and able to not break through the surface of the water. As a classic example of form fits function, the light body weight and thin legs of the water strider further aid it in doing this.
