I watched in awe a couple of weeks ago as a large beetle was swimming in my pond, triumphantly make his way out of the water. I was babysitting a 7 year old boy and I'm not sure who was more fascinated by it! We watched as the beetle made his way to a lily pad, climbed up on it, swam towards a rock by the water's edge and climbed right up out of the water onto the rock! The whole drama played out over about 15 minutes!
Here are a few photos of the inspirational climb of my backyard beetle!
