Calosoma schayeri
Species of beetle
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Calosoma schayeri (green carab beetle or saffron beetle) is a species of Carabidae that occurs in Australia.[2] Like most Carabidae the larvae are predaceous. It is quite active at night when it is found hunting for slow-moving prey such as caterpillars. If handled it gives off an unpleasant scent.[3]
