Any aquatic beetle belonging to the family Dytiscidae; these diving beetles are fierce freshwater predators.
From the family name Dytiscidae, derived from Greek 'dytes' (diver). The '-id' suffix is standard in taxonomy for naming members of a family.
Dytiscid beetles are like the tiny Dracula bats of freshwater—they use their powerful legs to dive, hunt fish and tadpoles, and can survive in water with almost no oxygen. Some are only a few millimeters long but incredibly fierce!
