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.

Description

Carabus hispanus is a predacious ground beetle. Thus, they are predators and tend to hunt and eat other species.[1][2] Their diet typically consists of earthworms, slugs, snails, and other insects, gastropods, fruits, and mollusks.[1]

Geographically, these beetles are commonly found in the south-central and southwest French regions of Cévennes, the Drome, and the Landes, and they are a forest species which can typically be found on north-exposed slopes.[3]

The species is known for its colorful and often iridescent exoskeleton, and is considered a larger beetle with females measuring up to 40mm.[3]
