shoegazer Posted June 30, 2015 Report Share Posted June 30, 2015 Left to right; Calosoma externum , Calosoma wilcoxi , and Calosoma scrutator. There are also a couple C. sayi and a single C. marginale in there, but didn't want their photos taken. As you can see, they do seem to enjoy fruit.

Peter Clausen Posted July 1, 2015 Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 That C. externum is brilliant! You really captured all the colors very well. Are those blackberries? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegazer Posted July 1, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 1, 2015 It's funny, because on my camera screen (iphone) the externum look decidedly blue. I was getting frustrated trying to rectify that with the settings and was ready to explain in the post how they are actually a neon purple color. But I guess the camera knows what its doing. Yes, those are blackberries, but they're also eating strawberries and cherries. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck4th Posted July 4, 2015 Report Share Posted July 4, 2015 Nice! Found a couple dead Calosoma scrutator, but none alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shoegazer Posted July 14, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 14, 2015 Finally got around to getting photos of other two species in that tank. Calosoma marginale (right) Calosoma sayi (right). This species seems much shyer than the rest, and is rarely out in daylight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
