Those are whirligig beetles, Gyrinidae I think? these were some kind of diving beetle, Dytiscidae

#Gyrinidae looks bizarre when you catch them in side profile like this. They have eyes staring above the water and eyes staring into the surface below, each wired to a different part of the brain. This one is quite dusty.

What are we looking at? This is a flotilla of whirligig beetles (Family Gyrinidae). They spend most of their lives swimming arcs and loops at the surface of ponds and lakes; nice work if you can get it. 🌿

It’s always the same three Elmids found on any survey here in the East Midlands, Oulimnius tuberculatus, Elmis aenea and Limnius volckmari. Also present Orectochilus villosus and Nebrioporus elegans. #Elmidae #Coleoptera #Gyrinidae #Dytiscidae

Whirligig beetles Orectochilus villosus have strongly simplified thoracic structures, which still support the beetles to both fly and swim well. Only 10 metathoracic muscles are preserved in this spe...

Any water beetle peeps out there that can help with this Female Gyrinus species from Devon please? I can't get everything to match up to the key, missing something. #coleoptera #gyrinidae #waterbeetles Colour on first image increased to show pale bits.

Today’s featured insect is Gyrinus wallisi, a whirligig beetle (family Gyrinidae) from Churchill, Manitoba. These carnivorous aquatic beetles swim in circles on the water of lakes and ponds, using split eyes to see above and below the surface at once!

I can't resist chiming in bc I'm an entomolgist so I'd like to say Yes there are many bugs that do swim well and live in water (please look up "Gyrinidae", they go spin) but many in fact.. can't. The ones I study will just Die if they fall in water or get too wet bc they're just pathetic like that.
