Summary

[edit]
Description
English: This small (about 7mm long) beetle is a member of the family Carabidae (ground beetles) and tribe (Lebiini). There are at least 190 species in the tribe Lebiini and many are hard to distinguish. This is probably Demetrida grandis, but it's impossible to be sure.

According to the Brisbane Insects and Spiders web site (www.brisbaneinsects.com/pchew_brisbane/index.html), beetles in the family Carabidae usually have a flat body. They have long legs and running fast. Most of them are predators with prominent mandibles and palps, They hunt for small insects either on ground or on tree trunks. Some of them are flightless. Most are active at night. Most produce defensive secretions. Most of their larvae are also predators, some hunting on leaves, others burrowing in soil or rotting wood. They feed on eggs, larvae and pupa of other insects. Some other Carabid larvae are scavengers.
