'''''Dytiscus''''' (based on [[Greek language|Greek]] ''δυτικός'', "able to dive") is a genus of [[predacious diving beetle]]s that usually live in [[wetland]]s and [[pond]]s. They are predators that can reduce [[mosquito]] [[larva]]e.
'''The All-American Rejects''' are a [[rock band]] sometimes referred to as '''AAR''', from [[Stillwater, Oklahoma]] formed by [[Tyson Ritter]] and [[Nick Wheeler]] in 2001. Their breakthrough album, ''[[The All-American Rejects (album)|The All-American Rejects]]'' was re-released in 2003, launching them into their mainstream capabilities with their hit, ''[[Swing, Swing]]''. They followed up with ''[[Move Along]]'', which catapulted their status to one of the top pop rock bands, producing three [[Hot 100]] top twenty hits (two of them being top tens). ''[[Move Along]]'' has been certified double [[RIAA certification|Platinum]] in the U.S. by the [[Recording Industry Association of America|RIAA]]<ref>[[MTV]]</ref> and their self-titled release in 2003 has been certifield Platinum. They are planning on releasing their third album ''[[When The World Comes Down]]'' on November 18, 2008.
They are slim, usually around two inches long and have six legs.
==Biography==
===2001–2004: Commercial success===
In the summer of 2001, the Rejects released the [[Extended play|EP]] ''[[Same Girl, New Songs]]'' and began to tour the [[Midwestern United States|American Midwest]] with Clayton Rhoades. By the tour's end, the band had signed a contract with [[Doghouse Records]] &mdash; the label of such bands as River City High and [[The Get Up Kids]].


[[Image:Dytiscus sal.jpg|thumb|left|Swimming underwater]]
[[Mike Kennerty]] and [[Chris Gaylor]] joined in 2002. That year, with producer Tim O'Heir (who had, in the past, worked with bands like [[Superdrag]], [[Sebadoh]], and [[Juliana Hatfield]]), the Rejects recorded their self-titled international debut album, ''[[The All-American Rejects (album)|The All-American Rejects]]''. From this album came the single "[[Swing, Swing]]" for which the Rejects were best-known for several years. Their [[The All-American Rejects (album)|self-titled album]] hit stores on [[October 15]] of that year.


==Life history==
===2005–2006: ''Move Along''===
[[Image:DytiscusLifeLyd.png|thumb|left|Life history]]
Adult beetles and their larvae are aquatic but the pupae spend their life in the ground. Females lay eggs inside the tissue of aquatic plants such as reeds. The eggs hatch in about three weeks and the larvae are elongate with a round and flat head and strong mandibles. The larvae are predatory and their mandible have grooves on their inner edge through which they are able to suck the body fluids of their prey. The larvae take air from the surface of the water using hairs at the end of their abdomen. These lead to spiracles into which the air is taken.


Once the larvae grow to some size, they move to soil at the edge of water and burrow into a cell and pupate.
On [[July 12]], [[2005]], they released ''[[Move Along]]'', from which came the single "[[Dirty Little Secret]]." The [[music video]] for the song was filmed at [[Dorney Park & Wildwater Kingdom|Dorney Park]] in [[Allentown, Pennsylvania]] in Summer 2005 and featured images from the collective art project [[PostSecret]].


The adults breathe by going to the surface and upending. They collect air under their [[elytra]] and are able to breathe this collected air using [[spiracles]] hidden under the elytra.
The second single, ''[[Move Along (song)|Move Along]]'', was released in January 2006. Some reports indicated the video for ''[[Move Along (song)|Move Along]]'' was a tribute to their deceased touring keyboardist [[Timothy Jordan II]]. Within the first weeks after premiering their video, it had been on the ''[[Total Request Live]]'' countdown ever since, hitting number one four days in a row, moving from place to place. Oddly, on the [[Billboard Hot 100|''Billboard'' Hot 100]], the single didn't hit peak until almost six months later in June, making it one of the longest-lasting singles by the Rejects. "Move Along" was then nominated for "Best Editing in a Video" and "Best Group Video" at the [[2006 MTV Video Music Awards]], the latter of which they won. In addition, the band performed "Move Along" live at the VMAs on Thursday, [[August 31]], [[2006]]. The band was also nominated for Choice Rock Group in the [[Teen Choice Awards]], but lost out to [[Fall Out Boy]]. The song "Night Drive" was featured in 2005 [[Cars (video game)|Cars]] video game as well as Madden 06.


In ''[[Great Diving Beetle|Dytiscus marginalis]]'' and other species the tarsus of the fore legs is modified in males to form a circular sucker. A reduced sucker is also seen in the mid leg of the male.<ref>Miall, L. C. (1912) The natural history of Aquatic Insects. Macmillan and Co. Ltd.</ref>
In May 2006, they performed a cover of [[Def Leppard]]'s "[[Photograph (Def Leppard song)|Photograph]]" on [[VH1 Rock Honors]].
In August 2006, the third single released from ''Move Along'', "[[It Ends Tonight]]", was released. The video for "It Ends Tonight" debuted in the [[United Kingdom|UK]] on [[August 28]], [[2006]]. "It Ends Tonight" debuted at number 10 on the VH1 Top 20 countdown. The video also peaked at #2 in ''[[Total Request Live|TRL]]''.


==Parasitoids==
To promote the band, the Rejects released a small [[Extended play|EP]], ''[[The Bite Back EP]]''. It is currently available only on the popular music service, [[iTunes]]. The band has agreed to take the year off and rest from their tour.
Eggs of Dytiscus are sometimes parasitized by wasps of the families [[Eulophidae]], [[Mymaridae]] and other [[Chalcidoidea]].<ref>Jackson D.J.

On November 16, 2007, the All-American Rejects took stage at the Oklahoma [[Centennial]] Spectacular concert at the [[Ford Center]]. They played their hit song, "[[Move Along]]." At the conclusion of the song, Tyson Ritter did a personalized good bye to the people of Oklahoma, serenading an elderly man in the crowd. The band received a [[standing ovation]].

They have appeared in the December 2007 issue of [[Alternative Press (music magazine)|Alternative Press]], where the band's third album made the number two list of the most anticipated albums of 2008.

The splash screen of the official All-American Rejects website changed in February 2008 to display a picture of sound equipment with the caption, "Recording. No Bullshit. Go outside. Later..." and a link to the site's homepage. Currently, the splash screen contains a chatroom for fans and a video window labeled "Rejects TV." The Rejects make sporadic, live, "from-the-studio" broadcasts through this video window with the [[Justin.tv]] service.

*On April 5, the Rejects co-headlined Bamboozle Left 2008 with [[Paramore]] held in Irvine, CA.

One of the songs off of the new album, "The Real World" was confirmed to be on the soundtrack for the video game, [[Madden NFL 09]]

In an interview on July 2nd, Tyson Ritter said that the album would probably be called "Hope it Gives You Hell" or "Mona Lisa", which are the names of two tracks on their upcoming album. Ritter also revealed the names of a few other tracks for the first time. These tracks include: "The Real World", "Breaking's What the Heart Is For","Another Heart Calls", and "Believe."

Dytiscus (based on Greek δυτικός, "able to dive") is a genus of predacious diving beetles that usually live in wetlands and ponds. They are predators that can reduce mosquito larvae. They are slim, usually around two inches long and have six legs.

Life history

Life history

Adult beetles and their larvae are aquatic but the pupae spend their life in the ground. Females lay eggs inside the tissue of aquatic plants such as reeds. The eggs hatch in about three weeks and the larvae are elongate with a round and flat head and strong mandibles. The larvae are predatory and their mandible have grooves on their inner edge through which they are able to suck the body fluids of their prey. The larvae take air from the surface of the water using hairs at the end of their abdomen. These lead to spiracles into which the air is taken.

Once the larvae grow to some size, they move to soil at the edge of water and burrow into a cell and pupate.

The adults breathe by going to the surface and upending. They collect air under their elytra and are able to breathe this collected air using spiracles hidden under the elytra.

In Dytiscus marginalis and other species the tarsus of the fore legs is modified in males to form a circular sucker. A reduced sucker is also seen in the mid leg of the male.[1]

Parasitoids

Eggs of Dytiscus are sometimes parasitized by wasps of the families Eulophidae, Mymaridae and other Chalcidoidea.[2][3]
