Omophron limbatum

A charismatic ground beetle that inhabits shallow and wet coastal sand at the water's edge. It usually moves in its thickness. The sand should have a creamy consistency. Predator. It is found by digging out of this sand, in its surface layers, or under objects that have gone into it. It is not uncommon, but very local, and is confined to suitable sandy beaches. Runs and swims fast, so I apologize for shooting-fast running smile.gifIn the Moscow region is quite common. Lukhovitsky district, Moscow region, 29.05.2006

At night, by the way, beetles come to the surface and are often found in the light of a lantern

I myself, alas, have never found this cute guy. But a colleague this year shared with me the specimens collected in the Yaroslavl region, and he caught them (and in significant quantities) in traps with vinegar placed at the water's edge.

I've also been caught quite a bit in vinegar traps in wet sand pits in the Leningrad Region.

Elizar?

No, even though the guy is from our "gang". They are with Elizar on the pliner today, and I couldn't keep them company for personal reasons weep.gif

What is a pliner? By the way, here is a question for everyone: why are the homophrons from the south colored in red-brown tones, and our northern ones are yellow? And I've been wanting to meet Elizar for a long time, he helped me, so I give him a low bow. I still can't get to Yaroslavl. frown.gif

Pliner - well, this is when artists go to landscapes, or something... that is, they were on excursions. And come to the Yaroslavl region, we will be very happy with Elizar! Debiting is not a problem. I'll give you my regards.

I don't want to sound like a smart guy, but still 7 years of thin education do not allow you to keep silent smile.gif

Omofrons, which I caught this year in the Belgorod region , are also more yellow...

I'm talking specifically about the southern ones. Such as the Lower Volga region, southern Ukraine, and the Caucasus...

I add my photos of the local species Omophron aequale jacobsoni Semenov, 1902. The quality is really not very good, because the object was already almost alive smile.gif
As for the color, I think it depends on the color of the sand in which these beetles live. Our sands are mostly white (well, or very light) and beetles have a very light color. I've seen instances from other places, and they tend to be darker.
