Rove beetle

Rove beetle

Rove beetles are long thin beetles. Most species have very small elytra (wing covers) that cover only a small part of the abdomen. The abdominal segments are flexible. Many species live in the soil and are rarely seen. They are usually black or brown, although the species illustrated is more colourful with blue-black elytra and reddish brown bands on the thorax and abdomen.
