Leistus rufomarginatus #groundbeetle I found in my garden.

I place it in a white bowl for pics and vids, then returned it outside. 🥲

"The beetle’s polished back, a shield of green,
Slips in and out the tall grass’s sheaves,
And all the air is trembling with the heat
Which climbs in little waves along the ground." Amy Lowell (1919)

It is fantastic to see all active ground beetles when it is dark. Here a Garden Ground Beetle, Carabus hortensis (at daytime).

This is a ground beetle larvae I found crawling across a sidewalk in the Pacific northwest. There are a number of species and it'd be quite a task to narrow it down to a single one. It is about 6mm long.

I saw this #GroundBeetle (some species of #Carabidae) crossing a trail, in Marin County. Look at those long legs!

Scarabs symbolize #life, #death and #rebirth. These ground beetles represent valuable members of the garden community.

Here's some of the ways I ended up 'contextualizing' the mech's designs - as mentioned, MEGASOMA was created for my Famicase entry, and the GROUNDBEETLE took cues from that. The SHGN was an explicit effort to create something beyond a game label that would work well in terms of 'packaging' a mech!

The SHGN 01 Combat Platform took cues from both the MEGASOMA & GROUNDBEETLE, and definitely embraces and is inspired by the designs of some of my favorite Gundam (3/3)

The GROUNDBEETLE is a follow up to a previous design I created a few years ago - The bot is envisioned to be a kind of solarpunk farming bot/drone that would help with pest control, irrigation, and analysis. (2/3)

I collect and ID ground #beetles for work. I found a Myas cyanescens with its left elytra green. Chimerism? The other half was unfortunately damaged by a tweezer. #carabid #groundbeetle

Another day of bug studies! Got some microbes in the collection this time, too ^^
