Notonecta backswommer What is "their" referring to?
The backswimmer diving beetle, belonging to the family Notonectidae, is a unique aquatic insect known for its distinctive swimming style, which involves moving upside down. These beetles have elongated bodies and long legs adapted for agile swimming on the water's surface. They are often found in ponds and lakes, where they prey on other small aquatic organisms. Notably, they can deliver a painful bite if handled, as they possess a piercing mouthpart for capturing prey.
Backswimmers are carnivorous, eating other insects, tadpoles, small fish and crustaceans. Researchers believe that backswimmers detect their prey by feeling vibrations made in the water by the other creature. Once the prey has been caught by the front legs of the backswimmer, it inserts its beak-like mouth and pumps digestive juices into its victim, dissolving the insides. The backswimmer then sucks out the digested innards.
