Isoptera (no family), termite, and I think that one's a soldier.

Coleoptera, Gyrinidae, whirlgig beetles. Their eyes are divided to let them see both above and below water as they float/swim on the surface. They swim rapidly in circles when agitated and trap an air bubble beneath their elytra to help swim underwater for long periods of time.

Re: Entomology B/C
Correct! I was also looking for the fact that they secrete gyrinidal, a foul-smelling substance that deters predators and also acts as a chemical alarm system to other whirligigs in the area.ceg7654 wrote:mjcox2000 wrote:[img]https://blancowateratlas.files.wordpress.com/2013/05/coleoptera-gyrinidae-gyrinus.jpg?w=1200[/img]Coleoptera, Gyrinidae, whirlgig beetles.

That is Drosphilidae/Pomace Flies in the order of Diptera and they are famous for infesting fruits with their larvae?

The genus [i]Drosophilia[/i] in Drosophilidae is commonly used as an experiment/model for labs in genetics, developmental biology, etc. because it has such a short generation time and easy to produce out of the wild.
