| − | The ''' | + | The '''Diving Beetle''' (ゲンゴロウ, ''Gengorō''), also known as the '''Water Beetle''' in {{DnMe+}}, is a common [[insect]] found in [[river]]s and [[pond]]s, swimming and diving. They are worth 800 Bells. It appears during the months of [[May]] through [[September]], and was introduced in {{DnMe+}}. It is common to find when it is raining, but can be caught in all weather. The Diving Beetle is found underwater, with a dark shadow like fish, and above water, showing their green bodies. To catch them, they need to be above the water. When caught, the "Bugs and Fish" window says "These are said to have short but strong pincers. Ouch!". |

| + | ''"Diving beetles swim using thick, hairy hind legs and clean the water by eating dead insects.

When they're caught by predators, they release a foul-smelling bluish fluid from their heads in defense."'' | ||

Adult beetles have streamlined, oval, or football-shaped flattened bodies that are usually 12-25 millimeters (1/8-1 inch) long. Most species are brown to black but some have distinctive patterns of spots, lines, or mottling on the wing covers. They have elongate hairlike antennae. Larvae are not frequently seen and have a long thorax and long legs. The head bears conspicuous large sickle-shaped mandibles without teeth. | Adult beetles have streamlined, oval, or football-shaped flattened bodies that are usually 12-25 millimeters (1/8-1 inch) long.
