Habitat Preferences of Carabus nankotaizanus Through Different Life Stages
Carabus nankotaizanus eggs are typically deposited in the soil or under leaf litter in a moist environment. As larvae, they are generally found in similar conditions—not too far from where the eggs are laid, often preying on smaller soil-dwelling organisms. For pupation, the larvae usually burrow into the ground to form pupal chambers. Upon emerging as adults, carabus nankotaizanus can be seen roaming on the forest floor, especially during nighttime, hunting for prey. To locate carabus nankotaizanus at different life stages, one would search through leaf litter and soil in a forested habitat, pay attention to moist areas for eggs and larvae, and examine the ground for signs of pupal cells or emergent adults.
