Summary
| Description |
English: Sericoda quadripunctata (DeGeer). This widely distributed Holarctic species is attracted to fire. The adults are often found in great numbers just after forest fires when the ashes are still hot. This behavior is shared by the other species in the genus and a few other carabids, such as Harpalus laticeps and Harpalus laevipes. The presence of charcoal is probably a stimulus for oviposition. Henri Goulet was unsuccessful in obtaining eggs from Sericoda obsoleta in the laboratory until he added charcoal to his rearing containers. |
