Ant-like Flower Beetle

Typically found on flowers, foliage, in leaf litter, or on the ground in sandy or moist areas.

Omnivorous; they consume small arthropods, pollen, fungi, and decaying organic matter.

They are well-known for their physical resemblance to ants, including a narrow 'neck' behind the head, which provides protection from predators. Many species are attracted to light and are most active during the day on vegetation.

They pose no risk to humans and are generally beneficial as they help control small pest populations and assist in the decomposition of organic material.
