Carabus granulatus or maeander

The introduced granulatus is very close to maeander - see images/descriptions/detail page for each here.

I've looked at the Alberta link.

Meander has more arcuate pronotoal margins than this one. This has to be granulatus.

Do you have some experience with beetles?

Please fill out your contributor page a little (reached by clicking your name) so we know on what you're basing this opinion. Thanks!

Hi Albert,

I can't speak for this beetle, but I do have plenty of carabids that come to UV lights, and most do not seem interested in eating other insects. Here is a UV light trap carabid catch from one evening last year:

wow

I really love your beetles~.
Weren't they fly to your light trap?
My beetle dosn't have wings to fly....Just walked to the trap and
started to hunt just like some frogs that come to light trap and hunt..
So, I said that..

Yes, mine all flew in to see the bright lights :-)

I've had spid*ers, toads and frogs arrive for dinner and I'm sure I recall cant*harids eating small insects and I've even seen some elater*ids feeding on dead insects at the lights. It would certainly not surprise me to see a carabid begin feeding as well, but I have yet to see that happen.

Carabidae

Very similar to this one. I am sure that somebody can tell you more.

… Beatriz Moisset, 29 May, 2006 - 5:22am

thanks

but something is different...
I don't know what is,,,maybe not
Carabus granulatus...

… Albert jo (sung wook), 29 May, 2006 - 7:47pm

Moving to genus level for now.

What's up with the date? I don't think this is really from December 1969, is it?

sorry

I'll edit
