Biology
Species of the Carabidae, including the genus Taridius, are predatory ground beetles. The adults can fly but may not choose to do so. They have biting mouthparts, a flattened body shape and hard, protective elytra covering the membranous hind wings. Both adults and larvae are predators although they may also eat some plant matter and are probably scavengers as well.[2] Adults often shelter under objects during the day and emerge at night to hunt. These beetles can usually be found under the bark of trees or in the foliage, under rocks and rotten logs or in crevices in the ground. Taridius species are mainly found in tropical habitats in South East Asia.
