A Great Diving beetle will first collect air bubbles in their wings cases which allows them to breath while they are under water. The shape of their body and how they move their wings under water is what allows them to move quickly.
Great diving beetles have the ability to dive under water in order to hunt for small fish. Prior to diving, they store a supply of air bubbles in their wing cases and use them to breathe while under water.

Lady bugs can fly unless they are injured or deformed. They fly so they can get to their food aphids which live on plants.
While you could try, it is not recommended. If you attempt to take a Beetle underwater without specialised modifications, the car will most likely be unable to function because cars do not have gills.
The Whirligig beetle breathes through gills under the water. They live in the water for long periods of time.
Possibly but river animals usually manage to find sheltered backwaters when the water starts to rise.
In the water. Why are these questions so dumb?
Very short if they come to my garden pond! Killed 4 adults at the beginning of the month and am now catching 5 to 30 larvae a day. Robins love them! I prefer to keep my pond for the frogs, toads, newts and goldfish thankyou.
