approximately 2.700 are found in Europe. Most species are carnivorous andactively hunt for any invertebrate prey. Only a few species are specialized, likeCalosoma upon caterpillars, Cychrus upon snails, some Dyschirius species uponstaphilinids and Lebia upon larvae of leaf beetles (family Chrysomelidae).Most carabids are nocturnal (Luff, 1978; SABO & POWER, 2002).Coleoptera undergo a complete metamorphosis: egg – larva – pupa - adult.Most species finish the developm<strong>en</strong>t from egg to adult within one season andhibernate as adults.
