Marsh Beetle

Contacyphon hilaris

Marsh Beetle

The adult water beetle is a small wetland insect found on vegetation around ponds, streams, and marshy ground. It flies readily between damp habitats and may visit flowers or feed on plant material and surface films. Despite its name, the winged adult often spends much of its time above the water rather than swimming.
