I absoutely love these beetles. The only proof I've had of its presence was a discarded elytra wing cover. This was back in July 1981 in the Pelham Bay section of the Bronx. I was eleven years old LOL!! I also remember there was a Gypsy caterpillar outbreak up in the park. I've Kept Calosoma scrutator in the past and they are quite long lived and hardy. Carabidae aka the ground beetles are a fascinating bunch. Very attractive beetles. Did you find those in the U.S or Europe?
Hello! Thank you very much for your comment! 4 I found, in Europe, they are all present in the video. Yes, they feed on caterpillars, especially Gipsy. I found only one such caterpillar, they are very cute. This seems to be the only ground beetle that climbs trees to find caterpillars and eats them there, in the tree. This year I didn't find these ground beetles and Gipsy caterpillars, instead I found other interesting insects that I haven't encountered in previous years.
@@RigelAntares Thank you for the quick reply. Calosoma scrutator in North America also climbs trees and an excellent flyer. These beetles and their larvae will also feed on moth pupae under leftest liter. I've kept Calosoma scrutator on wax worms injured or dead crickets and some fruit. I currently trying to establish a Chlaenius beetle colony.Another group of very attractive beetles. Thank you for your cool videos. PS I will continue my search for Calosoma sycophanta.👍
@@Morales-nt6vi Hello! Super interesting. I read now about those beetles Chlaenius beetle, C. Circumscriptus, feed on amphibians. So you grow a colony? Super interesting. They can be used in agriculture to remove pests. I found those ground beetles in the morning, between 8 and 12. I don't know many details about them, I was lucky to meet them and film them. I understood that many insects are sold as pets, such as Armadillidium vulgare. Thank you for your comment and appreciation, I wish you the best of luck in finding these ground beetles.
