They are small insects that sit on the water. They float around and are also known as water-striders.

After a quick read through the wikipedia article, I wouldn't feed them to any of my amphibians. They're carnivorous, secrete a nasty smell to ward off predators, and wild caught ones could be vectors for different parasites.
