The colors of the older specimens were generally faded more than in recent ones, which gradually lost their dark green coloration with yellow markings and became generally brown in coloration. However, it is important to note that not all specimens had lost their color to the same extent, as some specimens from the 1960s are not as faded as the one represented in this paper (Fig.

Such factors might be influenced by the sampling and euthanization methods, duration of pinning of the specimens, preservation techniques, etc. Since we did not have information on the pre-pinning conditions older specimens were exposed to, this hypothesis requires consideration in the future.

Juveniles are more likely to be observed close to the water surface than adults, as they are more susceptible to desiccation due to their immature exoskeletons. The juveniles are also less agile and unable to fly; hence, staying close to the water surface might increase their success rate when escaping from predators by diving underwater.

). A close-up of the
<normalizedToken originalValue="insects">insect's</normalizedToken>

). The lateral compression provides a wider surface area for paddling underwater and likely aids in better propulsion during swimming. The serration along the lateral edges could serve multiple functions, but the tarsal serration most likely enhances the

grip on wet and slippery rock surfaces since the arolium is absent underneath the claws (Fig.

). Thus, the presence of microscopic serrations means porous rock surfaces offer more grip to the
<normalizedToken originalValue="species">species'</normalizedToken>
limbs. Morphologically similar to riblet-like shark skin, another possible function of the serrations is to improve hydrodynamics by reducing the water drag acting upon its serrated tibiae when propelling underwater, reducing the formation of vortices and making swimming more energy efficient. The orientation of both microscopic structures is also parallel to the flow of water, hinting at functional homology (
