Long lasting air layers also occur in aquatic arthropods which breathe via a physical gill ( plastron ) e . g . the water spider ( " Argyroneta " ) and the saucer bug ( " Aphelocheirus " ) Air layers are presumably also conductive to the reduction of friction in fast moving animals under water, as is the case for the back swimmer " Notonecta ".
