Where they live:
Both the adult and the larval forms live on the edges of streams and ponds, either on the surface or within. They hide among reeds in swiftly flowing water. Adults of most species are strong fliers.
What they eat:
Diving Beetles have biting mouthparts and eat other aquatic organisms or animals that fall into the ponds, dead or alive. They can eat snails and fish much larger than themselves.
