WOW. So cool! I just watched this after you recommended it to me on one of Dustinsfishtanks videos and I am blown away! These are much more beautiful than any beetles that I have owned. Is this your tank? And if so how in the world do you find these beetles?! I got lucky and found a boatman in my pool and later some kind of whirligig beetle.
Hay. I want to catch a diving beetle. I live in the northern states of the usa. New jersey to be exact. I cant find much information on where and when I can get them and whats the sure way to tell its age and which species last longer. I heard they can last like 5years or something o.o
Ive had a pet water beetle for two years now , it bumped into my car , i feed it crickets and insects i catch in the yard, but id like to have more and i dont know where to find them
Well, actually, videos not yet. But probably I will have some in the near future. I am quite a beginner (with films; with beetles I have some ten publications already). :)
I catch insects Very similar to these in my Grammy's pool

Do they bite? Because I was swimming in a river once and I felt something bite me. It might of been a fish, I don't know.
