About the nebria brevicollis

Nebria brevicollis, the short-collared gazelle beetle, belonging to the Carabidae family, is a ground beetle. With nearly 500 species and over 100 subspecies, Nebria is the most diverse genus within the Nebriini tribe of ground beetles. Members of the genus occupy a wide range of habitats. Nebria brevicollis is native to Europe and the Near East but has been introduced to the western United States and Canada. Its rapid expansion in North America is characteristic of an invasive species. Due to the variation in habitat, their diet consists of small arthropods (less than 4 mm in length) including Collembola, Diptera, earthworms, mites, and spiders.
