| This is a
large Carabid, which although described as being common and found in a
range of habitats, actually seems very much the opposite. We only have
just two records, one from underneath an old Robin nest in a tool shed at
the former Sherwood Forest
Farm Park in September 2008 and from under a log at Rainworth Heath in
October 2020. Laemostenus terricola shows some metallic blue
colouration to the elytra, which when coupled with it's large size and
fairly flat appearance, makes it fairly straight forward to identify. |
