@earthandsunandmoon submitted: A bug spotted on my university campus--a whole gaggle of college girls was photographing it. Please help me ID this campus celeb!

Found in central Pennsylvania.

If there's one thing I know about college girls it's that they love a large beetle on the sidewalk. This fella looks like a predaceous diving beetle, probably either a vertical diving beetle or a fringed diving beetle, but I'd need clearer photos to say which.

Life comes and life goes in a fluent stream of energy. This tadpole of Rana temporaria didn’t reach another day and although I love all the Amphibians, I was amazed to see this big predatory water beetle larva (Dytiscus sp.) who gained is lunch in a beautiful pond of the @parcobeigua in Italy. Shot with Outex underwater equipment and Nikon camera. @realoutex @nikonitalia #dytiscidae #water #insect #underwater #macrophotography #wideanglemacro #picoftheday #frog #temporaria #tadpole @ilcp_photographers https://www.instagram.com/p/CeoUKXxqrSQ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
