Dear Dr. Raïssa S., I am just reading your answer. Unofrtunately for you, I have not Caraboidea in my faunsitics researches on Coleoptera. But as I read Russian language,I use eco-biological results found in many papers( written in Cyrillik alphabet) on European, subtropical Regions and Siberian Coleopteran'fauna, Sincerely yours. André Panis Associated Scientific at French National Research Institute for Agriculture.
My interest for Carabidae is to find small sized Mediterranean species which live on bushes, trees or in soil leaf litter. After being identified at species level, my interest is to find their preys. Particularly scale-insects, whiteflies, aphids, psyllids, (may be one day I will discover that they pey larvae of Cicadelloidea or Fulgoroidea), caterpillars, fly larvae, or Psocoidea. You know that dryness of summers is increasing in South France, from one year to another.
