Defying laws of physics

ID: Fishing spider?

Came across this beauty running around on the pristine waters of a small pond, and eventually it came very close to the shore and stayed steady for a long time. The legs clearly kept afloat, without tearing off the water's surface tension and intermediately it kept on cleaning its legs, probably to get rid of any dirt?

EXIF:

Looks like a Fishing Spider. You could take any top angle? The reflection looks nice. Thanks for sharing.

Interesting fellow. Hope you get one with a fish. Top angle would have been nice. I guess the shadow of the camera would not be noticeable. Thanks for sharing.

Cheers,
