Dytiscid beetle in small pool
6 miles NW Lyons, Boulder County, Colorado, USA
April 12, 2005
This black dytiscid was photographed in a tiny year-round pool in the CO foothills at 6400' elevation. An air bubble shows at the tip of its rear tarsi. An additional image will show a thin red area separating pronotum and elytra. Any help is much appreciated.
