Bilineata Marginata
Atalantycha bilineata
Bilineata Marginata is a small soldier beetle found on vegetation, flowers, and woodland edges, with larvae usually living in leaf litter or soil. Adults feed on pollen, nectar, and soft-bodied insects, while the predatory larvae hunt tiny invertebrates. Its soft elytra still provide some protection, and many soldier beetles rely on distasteful defensive chemicals rather than heavy armor. The paired dark markings on the wing covers make this beetle recognizable among similar flower-visiting beetles.
