Summary

Description
English: Notiophilus aquaticus (Linnaeus). This species is an example of a circumboreal taxon; it is found in the Northern Hemisphere without major gaps north of latitude 45. Linnaeus gave this species the epithet aquaticus in the 10th edition of his Systema Naturae, published in 1758, on the assumption that the species lived close to water. We know today that this is not the case and the species is found in relatively dry, open habitats. Notiophilus larvae and adults prey on collembolans. The adults are challenging to catch by hand because of their small size and swiftness.
