Donating to the museum
In City Folk
If the player donates the Diving Beetle to the museum, Blathers will make a comment on it.
"While they're marginally less odious as adults...dive beetles are horrific in their larval stage! These wretched youths are twice the size of the adults and wield a large poison barb. Foul villainy! Then again, I suppose the adults aren't much better. They're both completely objectionable, really..."
It can be found in the bottom-left hand enclosure in the insect exhibition, in the small pond.
In New Leaf
Upon being donated, the beetle can be found in the first room of the bug exhibit swimming in the pond just outside the butterfly house.
"Diving beetles swim using thick, hairy hind legs and clean the water by eating dead insects. They store a supply of air under their wings to breathe underwater and surface to replenish as needed. When they're caught by predators, they release a foul-smelling bluish fluid from their heads in defense."
In New Horizons
"Ah, the dastardly diving beetle! Famous for its distinctive round shape...and its voracious appetite. This powerful predator uses thick back legs covered in hairs to paddle after its prey. And it uses suction cups on its front legs to grip its quarry for good. My own legs have gone weak thinking about it..."
When donated, the diving beetle can be found swimming in the southwestern water tank of the bug exhibit. It shares this habitat with the pondskater, Giant Water Bug, and some donated fish.

Real-world information
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.
Predaceous diving beetles are easily confused with water scavenger beetles (Coleoptera: Hydrophilidae). The latter surface for air head first and have a ridge or keel on the underside that runs down the thorax and extends into a point.
