Big-headed Ground Beetle
Scarites subterraneus
The adult big-headed ground beetle inhabits fields, gardens, woodland edges, and other places with soft soil. Mostly active at night, it runs over the ground and digs into soil in search of insects, worms, and other small invertebrates. Its oversized head and powerful jaws help it subdue prey and excavate its underground refuge.
