#predacious diving beetle

[herpsandbirds]

Hello! I found this very large beetle a while ago, and really have no idea what it might be. Never saw anything like it before. It's back pair of legs made me almost think of a water beetle?

Great lakes region US (by lake Superior)

Beetle ID - GL region, USA:

Well see, you see, also look, hey, look... it's an aquatic predacious diving beetle, Dytiscus sp., family Dytiscidae. They fly, and move from one body of water to another.

Its looks very much to me like Vertical Diving Beetle (Dytiscus verticalis).
