What methods are used to control Japanese beetles?
Biological, cultural, mechanical, non-organic and organic methods are used to control Japanese beetles.
Specifically, the insect in question (Popillia japonica) displays complete metamorphosis by passing through four distinctly different stages in the life cycle: egg, larva, pupa, adult. The larval or the adult stage is the most common point at which applicators intervene since eggs are laid 2 to 4 inches (5.08 to 10.16 centimeters) below the ground and pupae cluster around plant roots. Larvae and adults will be more treatable since they can be accessed above-ground.
Biological applications center around fungal pathogens (Beauveria bassiana, Metarrhiizium), milky spore disease-inducing bacteria (Bacillus popilliae ), insect-eating nematodes (Heterorhabditisspp), and parasitic wasps (Tiphia vernalis) against grubs and parasitic flies (Istocheta aldrichi) against adults. Cultural controlsemphasize avoiding plants which Japanese beetles favor (such as berries and small fruits, birch and linden, crape myrtle and rose, sassafras and willow, summersweet and Virginia creeper) and favoring those which the beetles avoid (burning bush and forsythia, clematis and lilac, dogwood and redbud, hemlock and pine, holly and magnolia). Mechanical methods - which will attract every beetle within range - include pheromone traps, which generally are ineffective on an individual basis and work most effectively when a large area (such as a neighborhood) is involved. Non-organic and organic treatments require use of insecticides, such as those with carbaryl (against adults) and imidacloprid (against larvae) in terms of synthetics and those with insecticidal soap or Neem extract in the case of botanicals.

How long can stinkbugs hold their breath under water?
most bugs don't have lungs so they don't breath like you and I. oxygen passively enters and exits their bodies through microscopic holes. if you impede oxygen from entering their bodies, they will only live for a short period. some bugs (ants for example) may be able to hold on to an air bubble which will let them live a bit longer if they've been submerged.

How do you get rid of bugs that look like a lady bug?
I can't imagine anyone wanting to get rid of ladybugs. The number of aphids and spider mites they consume more than makes up for any possible annoyance they might cause. If you have lots of them, that means they are finding lots of food -- i.e., the aphids and spider mites they eat. If you take out the ladybugs, their food supply will probably grow out of control very quickly, and then you'll have a lot bigger problem.
That said, I think praying mantis (insects of the order Mantodea) might feed on ladybugs, but I'm not sure. I've just never come across anyone wanting to eliminate the ladybugs!

Is beetle a secondary concumer?
It depends. A secondary consumer is the second creature to eat anything in the food chain. So if a carnivorous bug ate another bug that had already eaten a plant, it would be a secondary consumer. A plant is not a consumer because it gets it's energy from the sun. A consumer is an animal that eats.

Is there such thing as a giant water beetle?
No, there is no such thing as a giant water beetle.
Specifically, a beetle has chewing mouthparts, leathery forewings, and membranous foldable hindwings. It meets its dietary needs by feeding upon animal and plant materials. It undergoes complete metamorphosis in that its larvae and adult stages look dissimilar.
A bug has piercing mouthparts and membranous wings (when present). It looks to maintaining a liquid diet from plant (and sometimes animal) fluids. It undergoes incomplete metamorphosis because juveniles constitute immediately recognizable, smaller, wingless (when present upon maturity) versions of adults.
Bugs are members of the order Hemiptera. Beetles belong to the order Coleoptera. Giant water bugs exist in the bug order whereas no known giant water insect will be found in the beetle order.
