Ground Beetle

Typically found on the ground in gardens, agricultural fields, meadows, and under debris or stones.

Omnivorous; feeds on a variety of small insects, larvae, and weed seeds (notably ragweed).

Night-active (nocturnal) hunters that are often attracted to lights. They are fast runners that hide under leaf litter or soil during the day.

Highly beneficial to the ecosystem as they provide natural pest control by eating harmful insects and help manage weed populations by consuming seeds.
