Gyrinus is a genus of small aquatic whirligig beetles in the family Gyrinidae native to the Palearctic (including Europe), the Near East, the Nearctic and North Africa.

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.

Whirligig beetles (Gyrinidae) were moderately diverse, although other early beetles (e.g. Dytiscidae) were less, with the most widespread being the species of Coptoclavidae, which preyed on aquatic fly larvae.

That same month, water striders, fish spiders and whirligig beetles began plying the pond's surface, while back swimmers and water boatmen worked its depths, cruising for meals of insect larvae and plankton.

Air-dried and preserved behind glass display cases, blister beetles, whirligig beetles and snout beetles are among the specimens that scientists hope will show the public that the bugs are interesting and attractive.

Whirligig beetles are most conspicuous by reason of their bewildering swimming, but their coloration is not showy and commonly they can be quite hard to see if they are not moving or are under water.

Adult crawling water beetles use both their elytra and their hind coxae (the basal segment of the back legs) in air retention, while whirligig beetles simply carry an air bubble down with them whenever they dive.

Bog water is important for the reproduction of dragonflies and damselflies and the Wicklow mountain bogs also support insects such as pond skaters, whirligig beetles, water boatmen and midges as well as the common frog and the viviparous lizard.

The surface in June looked like Long Island Sound from the air, with water striders and whirligig beetles zooming here and about like pleasure boats, inscribing the water with their distinctive wakes as they dart among islands of algae and a flotsam of tree pollen, catkins and leaves.

The Gyrinidae are surface swimmers for preference.

Maurice Auguste Régimbart (1852, Evreux - 22 September 1907, Evreux) was a French entomologist who specialised in Coleoptera, particularly Dytiscidae, Gyrinidae and Hydrophilidae.

The Gyrinidae generally have been regarded as a family in the Adephaga, but there is a great deal of work underway to clarify the relationships both within the Adephaga and within the Coleoptera in general.

The forelegs of the Mantispidae, Mantodea, and Phymatinae are adapted to seizing and holding prey in one way, while those of the Gyrinidae long and adapted for grasping food or prey in quite a different way.

Accessory glands or modified structures are present in some taxa: the Dytiscidae and Hygrobiidae also possess paired prothoracic glands secreting steroids; and the Gyrinidae are unique in the extended shape of the external opening of the pygidial gland.

This is one of the most common species of whirligig beetle.

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).
