Carabus serratus, the serrate-shoulder worm and slug hunter, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America,[1][2][3][4] where it inhabits moraines, gravel and sand pits, meadows, pastures and cultivated fields, but also forest clearings and open forests.
Adults are wing-dimorphic, with some being macropterous, while others are brachypterous. They are mostly nocturnal and adults have been found overwintering in the upper zone of sand pits and gravel pits.[5]
