Rove Beetle
Aleochara bilineata
Adult rove beetles live in crop fields, field margins, and soil litter, especially where cabbage root flies are present. They hunt small insects and may consume fly eggs and larvae, using agile jaws to seize prey. The abbreviated wing covers leave much of the flexible abdomen exposed, yet folded flight wings beneath them allow the beetle to disperse.
