The habitat of A. plebeja has been observed to change during the species' life cycle: it reproduces in grass vegetation, and hibernates in deciduous trees. They fly between these habitats in spring and autumn. After moving between habitats, A. plebeja autolyse their flight muscles, which are subsequently regrown before traveling to the next habitat. [3]
A. plebeja is typically phytophagous, with seeds being its primary food source, however it is has been observed to be occasionally carnivorous, especially in its larval form. [4]
Amara apricaria is a species of beetle of the genus Amara in the family Carabidae. It is native to Europe.
Amara aulica is a species of beetle of the genus Amara in the Harpalinae subfamily. It is native to Europe.
Amara bifrons is a species of beetle of the genus Amara in the family Carabidae.It is native to Europe.
Nebria brevicollis, belonging to the Carabidae family, is a ground beetle. With nearly 500 species and over 100 subspecies, N. brevicollis is the most diverse genus within the Nebriini tribe of ground beetles. Members of the genus occupy a wide range of habitats. Nebria brevicollis is native to Europe and the Near East but has been introduced to the western United States and Canada. Its rapid expansion in North America is characteristic of an invasive species. Due to the variation in habitat, their diet consists of small arthropods including Collembola, Diptera, earthworms, mites, and spiders.
Broscus cephalotes is a species of nocturnal, coastal ground beetle found throughout most of Europe. Its range spans from western Europe into western Siberia. The species was introduced recently in the eastern areas of Canada and has spread farther south and west into the United States. As a member of the family Carabidae, Broscus cephalotes is generally considered beneficial to humans due to its predatory habits. Their varied diet often includes crop pests and other small organisms.
Miscodera arctica is a species of beetles in the family Carabidae, the only species in the genus Miscodera. It is circumpolar in distribution, predominantly northern, with outliers in New Hampshire and Maine in the continental U.S. Its relationships have been long disputed. Here it is placed in subfamily Broscinae. While it certainly belongs to the more advanced ground beetles, it was alternatively placed in the subfamily Trechinae.
Pterostichus melanarius, the Rain Beetle, is a type of carabid of the genus Coleoptera. It is native to Europe but is increasingly found in North America after being introduced to the region in the 1920s. It is a predatory beetle that eats invertebrate pests, which makes it a valuable pest control agent in agricultural settings. Additionally, the beetle has wing dimorphism which has contributed to its increasing distribution across North America.
Amara convexior is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.
Amara familiaris is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.
Amara ovata is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.
Amara similata is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.

Anisodactylus binotatus is a species of ground beetle native to Europe. It was discovered as being introduced to Canterbury, New Zealand in 1938. Anisodactylus binotatus is a species of Carabidae, also known as the ground beetle family. Although this species of beetle has no official recorded common names, literature from England refers to it as the common shortspur beetle.
Amara pseudobrunnea is a species of seed-eating ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in North America.
Omophron americanum, the American round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in, as well as native to, North America, ranging across most of the United States and Canada, except British Columbia.
The Calleida viridipennis is a species of ground beetle belonging to the Carabidae family, and are referred to as carabid beetles. It is found in various states, including New York, New Mexico, Louisiana, and Florida. Habitat preferences include forests and swamps. C. virdipennis is a particular carabid beetle that is, on average, 10 mm long. Recognizable by a green-black metallic exoskeleton, it has a trapezoidal head shape. Its large eyes are also characteristic of the species. Below the exoskeleton reside functional wings, giving the beetle flight capacity.
Carl Hildebrand Lindroth was a Swedish entomologist and a professor at Lund University. He was a specialist in carabidology, with a special interest in biogeography. He was a strong proponent of the glacial refugium hypothesis and made use of the framework to explain the distribution patterns of Scandinavian beetles.
Leistus montanus is a species of ground beetle native to Europe.
