New Species - Violet Ground Beetle
I do think I have seen this or similar before but I don't seem to have recorded it anywhere so it goes on my new species list. This must be the Violet Ground Beetle (Carabus violaceous) as it fits the description perfectly. The purple line on the elytra and the subtle colouring on the pronotum turn what at first appears to be a plain black beetle into a thing of beauty.
