Carabus smaragdinus is a species of beetle belonging to the family Carabidae.
Carabus smaragdinus can reach a length of about 30–45 millimetres (1.2–1.8 in). Body is quite slender and the surface is metallic green or reddish coppery, depending on subspecies. Elytra are broad, robust and longitudinally crossed by rows of small dotted points like bumps. Adults can be found from May through September. They mainly eat small creatures like the earthworm.
This species is native to the Far East. It can be found in North and South Korea, and in China; from Inner Mongolia to Jilin and Henan to the east and Shanxi to the west. [1]
Carabus is a genus of beetles in family Carabidae. The genus is highly diverse with 94 subgenera, 959 species and 2300 subspecies, thus is the largest genus in the subfamily Carabinae. The vast majority are native to the Palearctic, but 16 Nearctic species are also known. Carabus spp. are 12–50 mm (0.47–1.97 in) long, and most species are wingless and often very colourful. These are nocturnal, predatory beetles that feed on snails, earthworms, and caterpillars. Most Carabus species were thought to have inhabited the Eurasian forest, but the species' low dispersal abilities altered the distribution of lineages within the genus.
