The Living Forest (114) : Red Soldier Beetle

The Soldier Beetle is a pretty nice elongated beetle which has, unlike other beetles, a soft body.
This species hunts mostly for small insects on top of flowers and plants.

In some areas it is called the ‘bloodsucker’, but that’s a misjudgement as it does actually not suck blood.

Dutch name : Kleine Rode Weekschildkever (ook Rood Soldaatje genoemd)
German name : Rotgelbe Weichkäfer
Latin name : Rhagonycha fulva
