@earthandsunandmoon submitted: A bug spotted on my university campus--a whole gaggle of college girls was photographing it. Please help me ID this campus celeb!
Found in central Pennsylvania.
If there's one thing I know about college girls it's that they love a large beetle on the sidewalk. This fella looks like a predaceous diving beetle, probably either a vertical diving beetle or a fringed diving beetle, but I'd need clearer photos to say which.

Science Saturday
IT’S THE BEETLES!
Sarah Finn, our long-time graduate intern and former social media science editor (now Archival Projects Librarian at Milwaukee Public Library) was always deeply intrigued by insects, especially beetles. So, in her honor we present these wood-engraved and chromolithographed beetles from our 1885 three-volume edition of J. G Wood’s Animate Creation, adapted to American zoology by the American physician and zoologist Joseph B. Holder and published in New York by Selmar Hess. The publication, a revision of Wood’s original 1853 British publication The Illustrated Natural History, was originally issued in 60 fascicles, with the chromolithographs printed by the noted Boston lithographing firm L. Prang & Company. Many of the images used in these volumes also appeared in other natural history publications in America and Europe, such as Brehms Thierleben.

@chennnington submitted: My dad saw some weird creatures in my parents’ pond and since we’re a family of bug enthusiasts we had to catch one to take a look cause we had never seen them before. We concluded that it’s the larva of a grooved diving beetle (location is Germany). So I just wanted to show you cause it’s such a funky little friend.
And I know it would’ve been better to just leave it alone in the pond but we were so curious. Of course it was released back into the pond right after unharmed but probably a bit confused 😅
Yes indeed, it looks like the larva of Acilius sulcatus, which is called either the grooved diving beetle or the lesser diving beetle. I think it's okay to catch and release bugs in the name of science as long as you're careful! Hope this friend gets to live a nice long beetle life :))))
