no. due to the combination of the surface tension on the raindrops and the increased air pressure under them pushing the insects out of the way

In theory no. neither do we! the electrons surrounding the molecules of our skin or the ectoderm of an insect repell the water molecules so the are not in direcr contact.
Do w and bug feel wet when covered in water yes absolutely...more to do with the transference of thermal energy. Surface tension may proctect small bugs to a cetain extent but all can feel wet if emmerced in water!

Only if it rains, or if they take bath (like in a pond).
Somebody said: "no. due to...".
First of, not all bugs are that minute. Secondly, wanna bet they get wet if hit by a raindrop or when they jump into the water?

The chitin in their exoskeletons is hydrophobic, that is it repels water, so water cannot be absorbed by their bodies except where there are openings in the exoskeleton.

They do unless they are under a rock.
