Dytiscus sp. - Dytiscus - Male

Size: 2 inches
Saw this fella about a half mile from water in a parking lot scooting around. The flipper legs were a dead giveaway it was some sort of water beetle, but I've never seen one this size in this area.

As a courtesy to other site visitors...
...please be sure to crop your pics so the bug fills the frame, as requested on the submission form. Only you and the editors/experts have the ability to click on an image and see the full size version. Everyone else is stuck looking at a little bug in a lot of unnecessary background. :)

You can click on "edit" and simply upload a cropped version. It will replace the current image.

Thanks!
