The Museum
The Diving Beetle can be donated to the museum. Upon doing so, the following text is given by Blathers:

"Diving beetles swim using thick, hairy hind legs and clean the water by eating dead insects. They store a supply of air under their wings to breathe underwater and surface to replenish as needed. When they're caught by predators, they release a foul-smelling bluish fluid from their heads in defense."

Quote
Upon catching the insect, the player will say the following:

"I caught a diving beetle! It's like I have sonar or something!"
