...... that was the name I gave to that fly, when I saw it walking or better running on the water of a little lake in the mountain, about 2000m high. But then I saw a little butterfly falling in the water, and about one dozen of this flys jumped on the butterfly and sucked its blood. And that is not Jesus-Christ-like, so I'm sure, that my name ist wrong. Who can help me find the right name? By the way, there have been hundreds of this flys on the water-surface.
