Water Treader
Water treaders, the superfamily Mesovelioidea, are insects in the order Hemiptera, the true bugs. They are semiaquatic insects that live in moist and wet habitat and on wet plant matter in several types of aquatic habitat.Yang, C. M. and D. H. Murphy. (2011)Guide to the aquatic Heteroptera of Singapore and peninsular Malaysia. 6. Mesoveliidae, with description of a new ''Nereivelia'' species from Singapore.''Raffles Bulletin of Zoology'' 59, 53-60. These insects are no more than 3.5 mm long. They have elongated heads, long antennae, and large eyes, with the exception of ''Cryptovelia'' species, which have vestigial eyes. Females are larger than the males of their species and have well-developed ovipositors. The type genus, '' Mesovelia'', contains about 27 species, many of which are common and widespread.Andersen, N.

Hawaiian (language)
Hawaiian (', ) is a Polynesian language of the Austronesian language family that takes its name from Hawaii, the largest island in the tropical North Pacific archipelago where it developed. Hawaiian, along with English, is an official language of the US state of Hawaii. King Kamehameha III established the first Hawaiian-language constitution in 1839 and 1840. For various reasons, including territorial legislation establishing English as the official language in schools, the number of native speakers of Hawaiian gradually decreased during the period from the 1830s to the 1950s. Hawaiian was essentially displaced by English on six of seven inhabited islands. In 2001, native speakers of Hawaiian amounted to less than 0.1% of the statewide population. Linguists were unsure if Hawaiian and other endangered languages would survive. Nevertheless, from around 1949 to the present day, there has been a gradual increase in attention to and promotion of the language. Public Hawaiian-langua ...

This bug, known commonly as the aaa water treader or lava tube water treader, is a water treader native to Hawaii. The insect's specific name, ''aaa'', is the Hawaiian word for "lava tube A lava tube, or pyroduct, is a natural conduit formed by flowing lava from a volcanic vent that moves beneath the hardened surface of a lava flow.
