NO, Whirligig beetles are aquatic in nature, and cannot survive on dry land. They therefore rarely come into contact with humans or human dwellings. They feed on small organisms and debris from the water surface, and do not attack crops or other plants. They make no noise and are generally innocuous. The only potential source of irritation from this insect is that one particular species, the Gyrinus, is known to emit an unpleasant-smelling secretion, although this is rarely problematic.
Because of these factors, the Whirligig beetle is not considered a pest.

Where did the whirligig originate from?
The whirligig, also known as a whirligig beetle, is a type of aquatic beetle belonging to the family Gyrinidae. These beetles are commonly found in freshwater habitats worldwide, including North and South America, Europe, and Asia. The origin of the whirligig beetle can be traced back millions of years to the early Cretaceous period, making them one of the oldest surviving lineages of beetles. Their unique ability to move swiftly on the water's surface and their distinctive whirligig behavior have made them a fascinating subject of study for scientists and naturalists.
