The '''diving beetle''' is a [[bug]] in the {{SER}}. It first appeared in {{DnMe+}} and have appeared in all subsequent games except {{WW}}. They appear on the surface of bodies of freshwater, occasionally diving under. In {{NH}}, it can be caught from late [[spring]] to early [[fall]].
+
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!".
