Thank you Cindy for the ID and the link. Now I know all about this Diving Beetle, This is exactly why Project Noah is so great. I see a beetle that I had never seen before and now I have the name and the info !
My favorite beetle from the Sonoran Desert. I find them in southern Arizona when I travel there. I also care for a group at my zoo. :-) Great spotting, Luis!
Awesome spotting! I just saw these at our local zoo. Here's a more official reference: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermonectu...
