Carabus Auronitens
Carabus auronitens
This metallic green or bronze ground beetle patrols moist deciduous forests, hedgerows, and shaded woodland edges across parts of Europe. It hunts at night and in damp weather, using powerful mandibles to seize insects, slugs, and worms. During the day it shelters beneath logs, stones, and leaf litter. When threatened, it can release defensive chemical secretions from the abdomen.
