It is often referred to by the French common names Carabe d'Ispagnac or Spanish ground beetle. This striking species is known for its metallic, iridescent coloration, which may appear green, bronze, gold, or copper depending on the light. Like other members of the genus Carabus, it is a nocturnal hunter that feeds on slugs, snails, earthworms, and other small invertebrates, helping to regulate populations of these animals in forest ecosystems.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe distribution of Chrysocarabus hispanus is centered in southwestern Europe. It occurs mainly in southern and southwestern France, particularly in forested regions such as the Cévennes, Landes, and areas bordering the Massif Central, which forms the northern limit of its range. Some taxonomic databases also record its presence in Spain. The beetle typically inhabits woodland habitats, especially cool, shaded slopes with abundant leaf litter, where it can find both shelter and prey.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWe firmly support the sustainable tropical butterfly collections as long as they take care of conserving the rainforest where they fly and developing responsible conscious trading.\nThis allows us to support local ranching farms with ethically sourced material and help at the same time collectors and enthusiasts to contribute to understanding and treasuring those species.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease consider that the specimen you will receive may slightly differ in size, shape or colour from the picture shown as you are purchasing a natural product.\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePlease note: In our selection of white frames, the inner box frame—the part that creates the depth of the shadow box—is currently only available in black, as white versions are not available at this time.
