Carabid Beetle (Ground Beetle)

Found in gardens, fields, and under debris or stones, often moving towards lights at night.

Generalist predator and seed eater; consumes small insects, caterpillars, and weed seeds.

Primarily nocturnal and terrestrial. They are fast runners that rarely fly unless moving to new feeding grounds.

Highly beneficial to ecosystems and agriculture as they act as natural pest control and help manage weed populations. They are harmless to humans.
