Boat-backed Ground Beetle and Other Nature Therapy

Fueled up for a stressful week with fall colors, flowers, and feathers. And met a new beetle.  The Boat-backed Ground Beetle, Scaphimotus spp. is described as 5/8-7/8", black with violet or coppery highlights. It eats slugs and snails. It was coppery going one direction, and purple headed a different way. 









Limit media consumption, go outside, and drink plenty of fluids!
