How do you get rid of diving beetles?
Here are a couple of answers (copied from previous question and answers)
1. They live in your yard and fly into your pool and also fly out. If you look real close you will see a small air bubble on them. Simply spray a "small" amount of Wisk laundry liquid over the pool and this will prevent the air bubble form forming and they will leave the pool... Why Wisk, because it contains a water tension breaker...
2. If these are the "swimmer" type of bugs, you can get rid of them in the pool by putting a couple tablespoons of Lemon Joy on TOP of the water. I usually wait until dark, turn off the pump, allow the pool surface to smooth out, then turn on the pool light - the bugs are drawn to the light. Then I only have a small area to cover with the Lemon Joy. When the bugs surface for air, they will get covered with the soap and cannot breathe. You have to be patient and wait for the bugs to come to the light, then come up for air. By the next morning the soap is neutralized and the dead bugs are floating on the surface. Ross Townsend

Are black ladybugs with orange spots poisonous?
Almost all ladybugs have spots so why don't you find one and see if they are poisonous.

A ladybug is NOT a true bug.
Reason, all true bugs have its own scientific and simple name.
The bugs that are not truebugs, are bugs that have the "bug" in the name.
Non-true bugs can have the "bug" separate from its first name. E.g.. lightning bug. Perhaps you were thinking of true flies versus the non-flies that consistently have "fly" attached to another part of their names.
Female beetles can lay hundreds of eggs. Females usually lay their eggs close to a food source, or even within the food source.
Lady Bugs survive by eating the little insects that eat on your plants and flowers, and make them die...... Hope my answer was helpful!!

What are baby ladybugs called?
http://books.google.com/books?id=WNKI5EZgNfUC&pg=PA23
A ladybug "baby," like that of most other insects, is a larva. It then pupates and finally emerges as a full-grown ladybug.
Of course, otherwise there would be no beetles While the act of mating varies by species, the majority of beetles mate simply: The male will climbs onto the back of the female beetle. The male beetle will normally stay there for a while in order to keep other males away from the female . Male beetles will mate with as many females as possible. Females beetles either mate with just one beetle, or with a lot of males.
Yes,a Lady Bird does lay eggs in fact it lays three eggs one at a time

Where is the blister beetles habitat?
Bark beetles live inside the bark, (like their name implies) of the conifer forests (forests with trees that have evergreen needlelike or scalelike leaves) of North America. They also are a problem in Mexico and other places that are warm, wet, and have evergreen needlelike leaves, especially with coffee trees also.
Most beetles will eat just about any plant. Many beetles are predatory, generally eating about any insect, spider, orbird that they can fit in their mouth.
A few species of beetles eat fungi.
