Predacious Diving Beetle - Coptotomus longulus
Copyright © 2006 Jim McClarin

Predacious Diving Beetle - Coptotomus longulus
Nashua, Hillsborough County, New Hampshire, USA
June 13, 2006
Size: 7.5 mm
This beetle came to UV lights during light rain. I think it is the same species as this one despite some variation in color and strength of markings. Both beetles did not fare well in tap water overnight -- something I've noticed with water beetles before.

Thank you Don.
I think we missed you for a little while there. You must have been in the field.

Let me guess
You were going to tell me that my thumbnail link didn't work. I often post a message with a non-working link rather than risk losing my work and having to start over. I then go and copy what I need, return, click edit, insert the thumbnail number or url, and click submit. During those few moments alarm bells might ring :-)

Well, I did start to say "thumb thing is missing"
Oh, Jim, you know me too well!

Cheers,
Ron
