Thanks Tim, Now that you're helping to work through these diving beetles, I'll try to get some better images posted soon.

No problem =)
Your images are among the best I've seen (together with Jim's and Tom's)...I wish I could say that for my own..I'm working through my own collection from last summer at this time and have many unlisted species in the guide but I'm hesitant to post too many up (especially the small ones). =/
