1. Title: "Majestic Dytiscus Marginalis: The Great Diving Beetle in Its Regal Pose" 2. Description: This illustration showcases the impressive anatomy of the male Dytiscus marginalis, also known as the great diving beetle. Belonging to the Dytiscidae family, this invertebrate is a master of the aquatic world, with a unique and intriguing appearance. The beetle's elongated, flattened body is expertly adapted for diving, allowing it to plunge into water with ease and grace. 3. The male Dytiscus marginalis is distinguished by its large, bulging eyes, which provide excellent vision both above and below water. The beetle's powerful hind legs are used for propulsion, while its front legs are modified into paddles for steering and maneuvering in the water.
