Can ground beetles fly??

Postby Bugz on Fri Jan 19, 2007 3:29 pm

The answer is YES

I dont know much about groud beetles, I had been opining all of them can just creep until this green little buddy flew in to my house one day. And he flew speedily... He gas attacked me when I caught him, it smell like ****.

His name is Chleanius micans.

PS: I got him while I was watching the final competition of world cup 2006, I took this photo about 30 mins before Zidane collided Materazzi's chest.
