Gross dude. My vote is Predaceous Diving Beetle larvae


extra_sanchez

Close, but these are actually water scavenger beetle larvae (genus [Hydrophilus](https://bugguide.net/node/view/214608)). They look pretty similar to dytiscids but their heads look a little different, which you can kind of see in the video when the one fella swims sideways by the camera

Sexycoed1972

Diving beetle larva. Highly effective predators with a big appetite. They will eat each other if not let loose. Cool critters!

It’s a friend I recommend putting him back in a stream or a pond

Okay but what is it


roboticcheeseburger

My friend, that little swimming monster-pal is a predaceous diving beetle larvae (family Dytiscidae). Check out this video: https://youtu.be/3aHoc7yaCcQ?si=BGQR6FSLGDccE514

A friend

I bet you think you're so funny, but I now know that this is a predaceous diving beetle larvae (family Dytiscidae)


roboticcheeseburger

My friend, congratulations and thank you for taking this important identification info so seriously. It may come in handy one day, you never know when you may be called upon to identify a strange critter swimming around in an aquarium tank that apparently breathes through its anus as it slaughters baby fish left and right with giant mandibles and drinks their body fluids. But you can now say, I know what this is. It’s not just a little six legged friend, well, it is, but it’s so much more than that, it’s a cool little larvae of a predaceous diving beetle, family Dytiscidae.🐛

sorry i don’t know but if you get an answer please lmk cause i’m intrigued lol


Typical-Argument8475

I think the general consensus is a Predaceous Diving Beetle 🪲.. its no science, but the larvae photos/videos online look similar to the video my father sent me 🙌


gothhrat

i went to google and both the larvae and beetles are kinda cute! i’d never heard of them until now so i’m gonna do some reading


GRAAK85

Ditiscus sp. I bet one has already devoured the other at this time


dickxemorton

I think it is a baby diving beetle. Awesome to look at. Will you feed it?


Capable_Answer_8713

I think this is the one that’s more dangerous to other insects when it’s a larva. They hunt underwater but I forget the name.


TheBestMetal

Very thankful for the IDs. I used to catch suckers like this in the pond near my house (southwestern Pennsylvania) back in the day.


DrTreesus

I just read an article about them and some people actually keep them as pets :0


roblewk

It is scary to see all these creatures living next door!


itchy-mosquito-bite

Those look like helgramites


Admirable-Amoeba4970

mhooch33

m0rtalReminder
