No water beetles do not bite humans like bedbugs. Bedbugs are notorious for leaving itchy and irritating bites on humans and other animals when they feed on blood. On the other hand water beetles do not feed on blood and therefore do not bite humans.
Water beetles are actually quite harmless to humans and other animals. They are usually found in bodies of water and they feed on plants and insects. Some of the common species of water beetles can even be kept as pets as they are relatively easy to take care of.
The following are some of the ways you can distinguish water beetles from bedbugs:
- Water beetles are usually bigger than bedbugs ranging in size from 0.2 to 2.0 inches.
- Water beetles have long antennae while bedbugs do not.
- Water beetles have wings and can fly while bedbugs cannot.
In conclusion water beetles are not known to bite humans like bedbugs do. They are also much larger than bedbugs and have visible wings and antennae. Therefore it is unlikely that you will experience any discomfort from water beetles.

Because bedbugs hurt when they bite! You say "don't let the bedbugs bite" as part of a nightly ritual - the entire phrase is "Good night, sleep tight, don't let the bedbugs bite."
