Hey, i saw this site a few days ago and thought it was pretty cool, this is my first suggestion, so go easy on me if i messed anything up :[.
So, a few days ago i was thinking about how some more Water/Bug type Pokemon would probably be pretty cool (i always forget surskit exists ;-; ). So i thought up this concept based on the great diving beetle, which fit the Water/Bug bill perfectly. I noticed that the larva were also well known for being vicious predators and actually being better hunters than their adult forms, so i thought it would be interesting to pull off something like the Scyther/Scizor line, giving both Pokemon in the evolution line the same BST, but distributed differently, but if you don't approve of that i'll change it. By the way, i'm not too sure on the names yet, do the current ones look okay? or do you guys have some better suggestions.

Description: Long, thin, segmented, almost snakelike insect Pokemon with large jaws, Body is a combination of shades of dark green, yellow, navy blue, and maybe even some reds here and there. Has red eyes, and six somewhat short legs near the front of its body. Should like somewhat like the insect in the picture below overall, although it doesnt have to be exact.
Picture of its real world counterpart for reference: http://www.countrysideinfo.co.uk/successn/images/gdb.jpg
