Carabidae
(Ground Beetle)
腕足动物科(Carabidae)又称拖鞋甲虫,属于鞘翅目甲虫科。该科在全世界有 4 万多个物种,是昆虫中数量最多、种类最丰富的科之一。甲虫科甲虫生活在从热带雨林到北极苔原的各种环境中。它们的多样性令人吃惊,但却有几个共同特征。

食肉目昆虫的共同特征之一是它们的捕食生活方式。大多数种类捕食其他昆虫,但也有一些专门捕食蜗牛或蛞蝓等特定食物。因此,这些甲虫在生态系统中发挥着重要作用,帮助控制其他昆虫类群的数量。
这些甲虫一般体型中等到较大,身体结实,腿部强壮,适合快速奔跑。它们的桁架或前翅很坚硬,可以保护后翅和后腿。舄甲虫的体色从有光泽的黑色到金属绿色、蓝色或青铜色不等。
母猪虫有发达的视力,能很好地探测周围环境的振动和化学信号。因此,即使在黑暗中或茂密的植被中,它们也能有效地找到猎物。有些种类甚至利用信息素与同类交流。
食蚁兽的生命周期非常有趣。雌虫将卵产在土壤或植物碎屑中,幼虫在那里孵化。这些幼虫以其他昆虫为食,在化蛹蜕变成甲虫成虫之前要经历几个发育阶段。这个过程可能需要几个月到几年的时间,具体取决于物种和环境条件。
对甲虫的研究可以为生态学、进化和保护提供有用的见解。甲虫的多样性、对不同环境的适应性以及与其他生物的相互作用,使它们成为昆虫学家和公众研究的对象。此外,这些甲虫还可作为环境质量的生物指标,因为它们的存在往往预示着一个健康稳定的生态系统。
