One beetle family, the whirligig beetles, has divided eyes so that when they are swimming they can see on top of the water and inside the water at the same time.

Many compounds present in dictionaries are extremely rare (e.g. whirligig beetle and ruby spinel) and their storage would serve little useful purpose for normal text processing.

In the whirligig beetle Gyrinus natator the elaborately adapted swimming legs have a remarkably high mechanical efficiency of about 84 per cent(Nachtigall, 1962).

The whirligig beetles are a family (Gyrinidae) of water beetles that usually swim on the surface of the water if undisturbed, though they swim actively underwater when threatened.

The eyes are compound and may display remarkable adaptability, as in the case of whirligig beetles (family Gyrinidae), where they are split to allow a view both above and below the waterline.
