Some type of diving beetle? Wasp spider Divine beetle? You mean scarab? No. Hint - look at its surroundings.  Yes, wasp spider. Nice name but Polish one sounds better - striped tigret. |

Divine beetle? You mean scarab? I said DIVING beetle, not divine! It appears to be underwater, Yes! First I thought you said a general description but indeed, it is the name of the species. In Polish, yellow-rimmed swimmer. |

In Polish, yellow-rimmed swimmer. I can see a lot of thought went into that name  I like the eyes, it gives it a cartoonish look. |

The great diving beetle (Dytiscus marginalis) is an aquatic diving beetle native to Europe and northern Asia, and is particularly common in England. The great diving beetle, true to its name, is a rather large insect. The larvae can grow up to 60 millimetres (2.4 in) in length, while the adults are generally 27–35 millimetres (1.1–1.4 in). en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_diving_beetle |

Strange. I can see a lot of thought went into that name It sounds and looks much better in Polish: pływak żółtobrzeżek. Isn`t it fascinating? |

I cannot work out how to quote you Do you mean you can`t see this small Quote box which appeared when you highlighted the text? I asked jeanne about it but she didn`t know. I can`t see it either but I thought it is my faulty settings. I need more feedback before I ask for help in the support room. So now I use standard quote button at the top of the post - it always works. The new bug is rare. Kozioróg dębosz. Yes! What a wonderful Polish phrase! Oakee Horned Billy Goat. |

When I tried to quote you before, the highlighted text didn't appear in the box to write in. Hopefully I know what I'm doing now! |

That's a very grand name for a bug On second thoughts, I am certain now it should be called Oakee Billy-Goated Horner. I am so sorry for misleading you. What about this? Appears in mass numbers in season.  |

but the English name is Firebug I am sorry. I thought by a firebug you meant a glow-worm or another firefly. Yes. In Polish - kruszczyca złotawka - oreling golduito. |

I think they're beautiful iridescent bugs Yes, they are very indecent. Many times I have caught them copulating in public! E..g, in the park, in full presence of kids or grannies. Can you imagine? BTW, that glossy bug is called rosen flowerpatski This one is nice too:  |

This cute little fellow is the jumping spider ("skakun" in Polish) - they usually don't weave a web, but catch their prey by jumping on it (eek! lol). This one is philaeus chrysops and has a funny name in Polish - "strojniś nadobny" It's the biggest of the jumping spiders in Poland. |
