Carabus nemoralis
This is a pregnanat female European Ground Beetle. Obviously she hasn't been out to get new "clothes"
that fit. I see these predatory beetles from time to time in my garden. © Carol Davis, 5-29-2009
This was the first ground beetle I found in my yard. It was in the garden. Quite the colorful little
devil. They are known to prey on soft-bodied garden pests such as the slug. © Carol Davis, 7-8-07
