Poecilus chalcites (Say) View in CoL

Deserving of attention is the record of Poecilus chalcites reported from Fredericton, NB (1992–1995) by Boiteau et al. (2000). This species was not included in the compendium of New Brunswick carabid fauna compiled by Goulet & Bousquet (2004). Found in cultivated fields planted with many crops, rangelands, pastures, meadows, lawns, vacant lots, gravel pits, roadsides, orchards, open forests, and near water on open moist ground. Adults feed on Lepidoptera caterpillars, flies, wasps, other insects, fungi, and vegetable material ( Larochelle & Larivière 2003).
