This photo was taken at the Petroforms site in the Whiteshell. One could not miss seeing this brightly coloured metallic green beetle scurrying across the rocky path.
They are found in the deciduous forests and do not bite humans unless handled. This beetle can have white spots on its shell, usually numbering six but some beetles have a few spots or none at all. They live in woody places and like shady openings such as dirt paths and fallen logs to hunt. Their prey includes caterpillars, ants and spiders. The beetles stay in larvae form for one year before pupating and has a total lifespan of just under 5 years.
Enjoy!
