bristly-antennaed carabid - Loricera pilicornis

bristly-antennaed carabid - Loricera pilicornis
Mt. Washington, Coos County, New Hampshire, USA
June 8, 2007
Size: about 7.5 mm
I noticed the six faint elytral depressions on this beetle when I collected it but the wild bristles on the first few antennomeres were quite a surprise once I saw the enlarged images.

characteristic for genus
- Loricera sp. (in Nebriinae, I guess). The setae on antennae are told to "cage" springtails before they are devored by the Carabid.

Loricera pilicornis
according to Downie and Arnett only Loricera in the northeast US is Loricera pilicornis. (nice to have an easy one every once and a while :)
