Gyrinus marinus (Gyllenhal, 1808) | ||
Gyrinus marinus is one of several UK species, often commonly known as Whirligig Beetles. They frequently dive underwater, but spend most of their time hunting on the surface of ponds and other still bodies of water, where they feed on small insects. The one photographed was found in an old water-filled cattle trough at Nettleworth Manor in April 2013. | ||
