Ground Beetle
Ground beetles are a large, cosmopolitan distribution, cosmopolitan family (biology), family of beetles, the Carabidae, with more than 40,000 species worldwide, around 2,000 of which are found in North America and 2,700 in Europe. As of 2015, it is one of the 10 most species-rich animal families. They belong to the Adephaga. Members of the family are primarily Carnivore, carnivorous, but some members are Herbivore, herbivorous or Omnivore, omnivorous. Description and ecology Although their body shapes and coloring vary somewhat, most are shiny black or metallic and have ridged wing covers (elytra). The elytra are fused in some species, particularly the large Carabinae, rendering the beetles unable to fly. The species ''Mormolyce phyllodes'' is known as violin beetle due to their peculiarly shaped elytra. All carabids except the quite primitive flanged bombardier beetles (Paussinae) have a groove on their arthropod leg, fore leg tibiae bearing a comb of hairs used for cleaning the ...

Harpalinae
Harpalinae is the largest subfamily of ground beetles, containing more than 19,000 species worldwide. Biology This subfamily contains the most apomorphic ground beetles, displaying a wide range of forms and behaviors. The morphology of species within Harpalinae range from Panagaeini, ant-mimics to charismatic members within the genus ''Pterostichus.'' Some exhibit rare feeding habits among ground beetles, including both Omnivore, omnivorous and even Herbivore, herbivorous species. Some members of Harpalinae, especially those restricted to the tropics, are considered to be Arboreal locomotion, arboreal. This variety of habitats has been considered to lead to the wide diversification of morphological traits. Systematics Recent phylogenetic analysis of Harpalinae has placed approximately 19,000 species within around 40 tribes in this subfamily with nearby sister subfamily clades having species numbers in the hundreds or lower. Few subfamilies within Carabidae have been recov ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
