WHAT DOES WATER BEETLE MEAN IN ENGLISH?

water beetle

Water beetle

A water beetle is a beetle adapted to living in water. Water beetles can only live in fresh water/chlorinated water. Water beetles rise to the water surface and take air into their tracheal systems. There are approximately 2000 species of water beetles. The rest marine species tend to live in the intertidal zone. Water beetles are black, brown, or greenish and.08 to 1.57 inches long. Many water beetles carry an air bubble underneath their abdomens, which both provides an air supply, and prevents water from getting into the spiracles. Others have the surface of their exoskeleton modified to form a plastron, or "physical gill", which permits direct gas exchange with the water. The hind legs are strong like the grasshoppers except it is not for jumping but for swimming. The wing covers are usually grooved on the female and smooth on the male. They have fringed hind legs with hair adapted for swimming. Adults hibernate in underwater soil during a good portion of the year. Water beetles are attracted to lights at night. Water beetles often feed on wayward insects that fall into the water and drown.
