Is the Whirligig beetle a nuisance?
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.

Beetles have historically never been big drug-takers, but in 2009 some insects started being used for testing in laboratories rather than animals (see the related links below). That could have been the beginning. Now there are interventions, 12-step programs, and a high rate of Beetle delinquency. It's really quite sad to see the Beetles on their downward spiral. Hopefully eventually they will wake up and realize how they are ruining their lives, and realize that they have insect support systems around them, and other bugs just waiting for them to admit their problem so they can help.
