CARABUS AURATUS BEETLE’S MORPHOLOGY AND DISTRIBUTION
Abstract
The article provides information about the morphology, anatomy, and ecology of Carabus auratus. Carabus auratus is adapted to live near the soil surface. It can skillfully move underground while searching for prey or for defense. The structure of the beetle's legs, along with its strong claws, allows it to move easily on the ground and successfully navigate through thorny plants. These characteristics not only show its role as a predator but also highlight its importance as a crucial part of the ecological system.
