Yet another Predaceous Diving Beetle caught at the same time as my last one I posted the other day. Almost sure this is from a different genus though, see if someone can confirm for me. Thanks again.

Thanks V...
Was sure it was a different genus, you have it to a different tribe as well. Thanks again...
