Ground Beetle

Under rocks, leaf litter, debris, and soil, frequently wandering indoors through doors and low openings.

Predatory on insects, worms, and snails, though some species also consume seeds.

Mostly nocturnal hunters that crawl along ground surfaces; attracted to exterior building lights at night.

Harmless to human health, structures, and food; highly beneficial in controlling garden pests like slugs and caterpillars.
