Ewww. Diving Beetle!

This cute little guy is called a diving beetle, but he's also called a water tiger. They feed on tadpoles among other things. Josie found him swimming around in the shallow water on top of a pool cover surrounded by tadpoles. She named him Spike. I'd like to call him Hurley, Ralph, or Chuck. He's living in my house. I won't be sleeping well tonight.

That looks like something you would see on the SiFi channel. I wouldn't want it in my house.

Way too spooky for me!

Ithink he's a fascinating creature, however, I'd have to think twice about swimming in that pool now. I'd also make sure that the container he's residing in had a good tight fitting lid!
