Thanks Tim!
I really appreciate your identifications. Moved from Predacious Diving Beetles.

Agabus sp.
subequal metatarsal claws (visible in ventral shot) characterizes genus; these are hard to get down to species though..need to examine male genitalia (this is a female), also many species (>100!), alot of them similar to each other, in the genus
