Calosoma scrutator
Large flattened, shiny beetle with green iridescence on elytra.
Rural back yard attracted to moth light trap.
Fiery Searchers eat all kinds of moth and butterfly caterpillars, but they eat more Eastern Tent Caterpillars and European Gypsy Moth caterpillars than any other. Adult beetles hunt during the day, and larvae hunt at night.
