Jesus Bug

I was talking to my friend about I have no idea what, but I asked her what she called the bug that skims across the water. In the south we call it a jesus bug. She said she called it a waterskipper, which is logical enough. It's just that in the south, naming things based on religion makes more sense.

Same with a thunderstorm that happens when the sun is shining. We say the devil is beatin his wife. That's a regional thing, though. People in other areas have equally hilarious names for this.
