I guess it was too easy, didn't think any Dipterist would have ever looked on the ventral surface of a GyrinidGrin
Not that easy to photograph - have to catch one first and they are slippery - but after that they are incredibly reflective.

How can you tell it is natator from this view?

Too easy???? For me is completely impossible. About seven Gyrinus species in my zone, and other two more genus of Gyrinidae...

My mistake. I was trying to make the point that the Family was also found in Europe and not restricted to North America (assuming that there are some Families unique to NA). Anyway, I was simply looking for the Family. Paul interpreted my question literally. I have no idea what it is beyond the genus level.
