When I was a small lad of around seven, I saw some movement in a local pond. Thinking it was a fish, I grabbed for it, unfortunately it turned out to be a the larval form of a great diving beetle. Which promptly bit me. Impressive insect, but I don't recommend handling them.

They really are. Our chemicals actually make life for aquatic insects harder. Since they rely on surface tension to breathe and move, since that's what creates bubbles since for insects water is very adhesive. And so they use the oxygen help themselves safe along with hydrophobic oils. However chemicals such as soap and hand sanitizer disturbs surface tension which causes them to drown. This is a serious issue in areas of pollution.

We have these in the UK where they eat tadpoles and small fish!

Really love water beetle

Know who else is an impressive at underwater hunting? Fish people.

Love this vid

I saw a lot of those in the river water near the banks Surprised so many people were not aware they existed😁

I found one these in my backyard pool one time, it lived in there for a few weeks

Amazing underwater video. I wonder what sort of equipment did they use...

Fun fact. These things can fly. I remember seeing one fly onto my tranpoline outside once. It didn't do much after that tho

Very interesting creatures that are under water

1:24 fish looks at its body being ate

Very fierce for a beetle

Had one of these appear inexplicably in my 50 G Cichlid tank some years back. My girlfriend named it "BubbleButt".

My brain keeps saying it is not right that an insect lives underwater and eats creatures that are not other insects.

@Zaxares

Insects (well, arthropods really) were in the water looooong before fish came on the scene. Animals like trilobites and euryptids (sea scorpions) prowled the oceans for millions of years, and some of them were truly gigantic monsters more than 2 metres long.

Lots in my pond that clear out all tadpoles and introduced fish under 4..5 inches . Even if a fish escapes if it was pierced they seem to die soon after or become inactive enough to get eaten mostly alive . Newts get it as well .!

Interesting and discussing

when i saw that bubble pops out of the beetle at 1:06 .... somehow the sonic panic sound effect just started playing in my mind...

They are freaking eating everything , and host is talking about their survival😳

In 5th grade we went to our school pond to catch tadpoles and observe the growth of frogs. (Considering their was only a week or 2 left we didn’t see much) but we got some larvae of those beetles and we would watch them hunt the tadpoles but eventually removed them and I mean the kids watched and the teacher saw what was happening and removed them

Get a pool with waterplants in your garden. This will attract water insects and amphibians who can be eaten by the beetle larvae. Dont have fish in the pond as they eat amphibian eggs. In ponds with fish there are very few amphibians so no tadpoles to eat for the beetle. The beetle can eat fish though but its mostly the larvae that needs help.

I know fish eats bugs, but never think there will be a bug that eats fish. LOL
