More ground beetles - Carabus auronitens (preserved specimen)

[ItalianTermiteMan]

Here we have another ground beetle from my entomological collection, this time a Carabus (Chrysocarabus) auronitens from France. Common but not less beautiful critter.

I buy them in in tiny packets and mount them myself.
