	Water beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A water beetle is a beetle adapted for living in water.
		Water beetles carry an air bubble underneath their abdomens, which both provides an air supply, and prevents water from getting into the spiracles.
		Water beetle larvae are also aquatic, dwelling on the bottom.

	Crawling water beetle - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The crawling water beetles are a family (Haliplidae) of water beetles who swim poorly using an alternate motion of the legs, and therefore prefer to get around by crawling.
		These beetles are generally oval in shape, with lengths from 1.5 to 5 mm, and generally yellowish to light brown in color, frequently with light and dark patterns dotted with 10 or more rows of punctures.
		The eyes are distinctly protruding from a smallish head, and the legs have long swimming hairs, but the family's most distinctive characteristic is the large coxal plates underneath, which extend back to cover most of the abdomen, and are used as air storage supplementing the air carried under the elytra.

		With mandibles held ready, both these scavenging water beetle larvae are after the same thing - a perch near the top of the twig - a prime location near the water’s surface where they can draw air into gills at the tip of their abdomen.
		Water beetle pupae are so seldom encountered in the field that a photograph is not available.
		Almost all water beetles have wings and are able to fly for some period of their adulthood.

		These beetles are usually seen in groups, spinning and whirling around on the surfaces of quiet ponds or lakes.
		At the water's surface, the beetles project their antennae out of the water to capture a bubble of air.
		The hind pair of legs of the true water beetle are long, flattened, and fringed to provide a greater surface area that helps the insect float.

		It is thought that haliplids can absorb oxygen directly from the water through their air bubbles because they can stay underwater for long periods of time without surfacing.

		This year the students found and identified 14 different macroinvertebrate taxa, including caddisfly larvae, backswimmers, predacious diving beetle larvae, water scavenger beetle, mosquito larvae and pupae, flfly larvae, biting midge larvae, non-biting midge larvae, water fleas, ostracod, crawling water beetle larvae, water mites and water spiders.
		Taxa identified included stonefly larvae, water boatmen, predacious diving beetle larvae, whirligig beetle, mosquito larvae and pupae, biting midge larvae, non biting midge larvae, amphipods, ostracods, fairy shrimp, water mites, freshwater mussels, freshwater snails and crawling water beetles.
		Although water levels in the swamp were particularly low this year due to the lack of winter rain, students were amazed to find a large variety of aquatic life.

	FINAL RULE: HUNGERFORD'S CRAWLING WATER BEETLE, U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
		Brychius hungerfordi is a small (4.20 mm), distinctive, yellowish brown beetle with irregular dark markings and longitudinal stripes on the elytra, each of which is comprised of a series of fine, closely spaced and darkly pigmented punctures.
		Because adult beetles must swim to the surface for air, they are vulnerable to predation by fish, tadpoles and other aquatic insects (Hickman 1931; Wilsmann and Strand 1990).
		The beetles are thought to live longer than one year and to overwinter as larvae in the dense aquatic vegetation at the stream's edge (Wilsmann and Strand 1990).
