    Hello friends.
    A few days ago I was in the yard and one of my children noticed that there was an ant-like insect crawling up one of my rubber boots.

    Hola amigos.
    Hace pocos días estaba en el patio y uno de mis hijos advirtió que había un insecto parecido a una hormiga subiendo por una de mis botas de goma.

    Without knowing what exactly it was, I took it carefully to observe it better. I noticed that his abdomen had an unusual color and size for an 🐜 ant.

    Sin saber que era exactamente lo tomé con cuidado para observarlo mejor. Noté que su abdomen tenia un color y tamaño inusuales para ser de una 🐜 hormiga.

    In my hand it moved slowly, but when I placed it in a different place it moved quickly.

    Sobre mi mano se movia lentamente, pero al colocarlo en un lugar diferente caminaba con rapidez.

    It seemed to have fused elytra and therefore lacked the ability to fly.

    Parecia tener los elitros fusionados y carecer por consiguiente de capacidad para volar.

    Upon seeing it better, I discovered that it was a beetle, and with the help of Google lens, I knew that it belonged to the family Carabidae or ground beetles.

    All verlo mejor descubrí que se trataba de un escarabajo, y con la ayuda de Google lens, supe que pertenecia a la familia Carabidae o escarabajos de tierra.

    It was the first time I saw it and found out that it is geographically distributed between North America and Europe. Perhaps the fact that one of its names is Calleida migratoria has to do with this.

    Era la primera vez lo tveía y me enteré que se distribuye geograficamente entre Norteamérica y Europa. Tal vez el hecho de que uno de sus nombres es Calleida migratoria tenga que ver con esto.

    It is also called Calleida punctata, Calleida decora, Calleida Cordicollis, Lebia tricolor and Lipostratia elongata.

    Tambien es llamada Calleida punctata, Calleida decora, Calleida Cordicollis, Lebia tricolor y Lipostratia elongata.

    Beetles of the family Carabidae are mostly carnivorous, brightly colored, and have joined or separated grooved elytra. They live under leaves or other plant remains in the soil.

    Los escarabajos de la familia Carabidae son en su mayoría carnivoros, de colores brillantes, y elitros ranurados unidos o separados. Viven bajo hojas u otros restos vegetales del suelo.

    Carabidae is one of the largest insect families and some of its members can be beneficial for pest control.

    Carabidae es una de las familias de insectos mas grande y algunos de sus miembros pueden ser beneficiosos para control de plagas.

    Some have toxin-secreting glands in their abdomen, special for defending themselves from predators and for hunting.

    Algunos tienen glándulas secretoras de toxinas en el abdomen, especiales para defenderse de depredadores y para cazar.

    They also have comb-like structures on their front legs with which they clean their antennae.

    También tienen estructuras parecidas a peines en las patas delanteras con las que limpian sus antenas.

    All photos were taken by myself with my Redmi 9 A smartphone from Xiaomi.

    Todas las fotos las tomé yo misma con mi teléfono inteligente Redmi 9 A de Xiaomi.
