Halloween: Creepy Bug!!!

Wirligig Beetle

Halloween gives me an excuse to show a beetle I found in the pond recently.

I noticed they had good vision because they started to disperse as soon as my approach was about six feet.  They were very active.  (The Video is at the bottom.)

 I suppose they evoke a thought of PacMan or a Bill Cosby character.  As you can see, they do some walking at which activity they are slow.  Conversely, they swim rapidly.

Their "feet" are really flippers.

I think they may be able to roll their eyes from top to bottom when they need to see in that direction.

I think you need to get a good look at the face to gain a sense of the creature.  This is where it gets creepy.  It has a face only a mother Wirligig Beetle could love,

Or maybe a mother fish.
