A small freshwater fish that shoots down insects above water with jets of water, using remarkable accuracy like an archer shooting arrows.
From 'archer' (one who shoots with a bow) and 'fish,' a descriptive common name given because the fish 'shoots' prey just like an archer shoots arrows.
Archerfish are one of nature's best physics teachers—their brain automatically calculates how light bends in water to aim accurately at insects 6 feet away, solving physics problems faster than most humans.
