The great diving beetle

The Diving Beetle starts out as a larva. It's larva can grow up to 60mm in length. As it grows into an adult it can grow up to a length of 27-35 mm which means it shrinks as it grows, kind of ironic if you ask me. This beetle is commonly found in England but is native to Northern Asia and Europe. This creature is brown and black on their backs and prefer fresh water with vegitation in it. This beetle is in my swimming pool and when i see one it gives me the chills cause they look so ugly. Once we start to clorinate our pool they start to die.
