	MSN Encarta - Multimedia - Diving Beetle
		Although most insects are terrestrial or aerial, the great diving beetle has adapted to a freshwater environment.
		A voracious predator, the diving beetle feeds on tadpoles, small fish, and insects and their larvae.
		Not strictly limited to the aquatic environment, diving beetles are capable of flying from one pool to another.

	Pond educational resource pack - beetles
		Identifying individual beetle species can be difficult, as there are so many inhabiting Britain’s fresh waters, but their behaviour can at least suggest whether they feed on plants or other animals - a slow-moving creature is unlikely to be a predator.
		The silver appearance of this and other beetles in the group when in water is given by the air supply, carried from the surface as a layer on the body's under-surface and under the wing covers.
		A diving beetle carries an air bubble under its wing covers, while its larva, like that of a water scavenger beetle, pokes its rear through the water’s surface to collect air.
