This is a harvestman (opiliones). Notice the oval-shaped, (visibly) unsegmented body. They are related, but not the same thing as spiders. They have no venom and do not have silk glands.
By the way, could you tell me what you mean by water bug? A quick search has shown to me many different things I’m not sure are what you meant. Just for future ID purposes and stuff like that.
Great response!! Thank you!!! Yeah I remember seeing these little bugs when I was younger around ponds and small water areas what looked very similar, always got told they were called water bugs.
