It's a wolf spider. The last two pictures in this post show a wolf spider doing the same thing. In a flooded rice field rather than a peat bog.
Good work getting a shot of a water strider, they don't stay still very long!

Thanks for the identification!
And no, they move around all the time, I had tried before, but this is the first time I got a decent photo of a water strider.
