Diving Beetle Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a diving beetle! Now I'm making a splash!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  Ah, the dastardly diving beetle! Famous for its distinctive round shape...and its voracious appetite.

 This powerful predator uses thick black legs covered in hair to paddle after its prey.

 And it uses suction cups on its front legs to grip its quarry for good.

 My own legs have gone weak thinking about it.
