This was sitting on my Dahlia imperialis.

It is a water strider insect of some sort, the Gerris seems to be a common one but I haven't been able to find this.

It's quite a large insect, the legs go on forever. It has wings, and flew off when I put the camera above it.

Does anyone have any clues?
