Carabidae, Caterpillar Hunter - Calosoma wilcoxi Dayton, Montgomery County, Ohio, USA Size: 21 mm
May 17, 2013: collected, a present from the Ham Fest
I happened to have a terrarium with left over meal worms so put it in there. It dug a cell under the water cup.
I checked on it weekly, sometimes I couldn't find it.
November 11, 2013: dead
I see that the end of the elytra are chewed off.
