Colourful beetle on the trail

We have plenty Carabus here, from black ones to more colourful. I like very much the Carabus hispanus pictured above.

Carabus hispanus is a species of beetle in family Carabidae native to southwestern France, with the Massif Central as the northern boundary of its distribution range. These carabus likes beeches, oaks and chestnut trees forests like around here. Their meal is made of worms, slugs and snails.
