Nightmare comes!!!

The great diving beetle (Dytiscus marginalis) is a large aquatic diving beetle native to Europe and northern Asia, and is particularly common in England.

The great diving beetle, true to its name, is a rather sizable insect. The larvae can grow up to 60 mm in length, while the adults are generally between 27-35 mm. They are dark-colored (brown to black) on their back and wing cases (elytra) and yellow on their abdomen and legs. A voracious predator, this beetle hunts a wide variety of prey, including other insects, tadpoles, and small fish.
