[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The Carabidae are insects belonging to the order Coleoptera, present in all terrestrial environments, and spread throughout the world. More than 20,000 species are known only in Italy, and they include more than thirteen hundred.
Can be found everywhere: in the woods, meadows, near water, in the driest areas, in towns, mountains and plains. They are fast and ruthless hunters, armed with sharp mandibles that have nothing to envy the "arms" of the offense of the most ferocious predators that have populated the Earth. Lead lives mostly at night and their diet is carnivorous, although there are some exceptions with diurnal habits and diets phytophagous (plant-eating).
Carabus coriaceus , one of the most European carabid large and robust, up to 42mm long, hunting at night and with its powerful mandibles prefers snails and worms

I Carabidi sono insetti appartenenti all'ordine dei Coleotteri, presenti in tutti gli ambienti terrestri e diffusi in tutto il mondo. Se ne conoscono oltre 20.000 specie e solo in Italia se ne annoverano più di milletrecento.
Si possono trovare ovunque: nei boschi, nei prati, vicino all'acqua, nelle zone più aride, nei centri abitati, in montagna e in pianura. Sono cacciatori veloci e spietati, armati di mandibole acuminate che nulla hanno da invidiare alle "armi" di offesa dei più feroci predatori che hanno popolato la Terra. Conducono una vita prevalentemente notturna e la loro dieta è carnivora, anche se vi sono alcune eccezioni con abitudini diurne e diete fitofaghe (che si nutrono di vegetali).
Carabus coriaceus , uno dei piu' grandi e robusti carabidi europei, lungo fino a 42mm, caccia durante la notte e con le sue possenti mandibole predilige lumache e vermi
