water beetle?

[SmartWombat]

Didn't seem to be able to walk, sort of dragging itself with the front legs.

Cool photo. What is the background on the first photo?

You did very well on both.

Thanks for the ID.
The background is the floor of Andretti hospitality at Homestead Motor Speedway.
After the storms they seem to have been washed out of the drainage ditches and could be found all around Andretti.
The other water beetle was in a fire water barrel in the pit lane.
