Cantharis fusca

Cantharis fusca is a species of soldier beetles.

C. fusca can grow up to 1.5 cm long. Except for parts of the head and thorax, which are red or orange, this species is completely black. The body is flat and long, with a weak exoskeleton. These beetles have long feathery antennas, and comparatively long legs.

This species is common in large parts of Europe, and lives in bushes, edges of forests, and meadows. They hunt for small insects.

The larvae have black hairs, and also eat small insects. They are very cold-resistant, and can be seen crawling on the snow in winter.

Hi Septimiu,

What a cozy place these beetles found! The pair show up beautifully in the shelter of the leaves. Their colors are wonderful and you present them in fine detail. You captured the moment perfectly.

Hello Nemes
the focusing on the cantharis is perfect. Excellent the composition of colors that give a great contrast between the little insects and the green with fine details and light.
Livio

Hello Septimiu,
very attractive presentation with both beetles well lighted and sharply in focus while emerging from a sheltering shadow behind some exquisitely coloured large petals of Helleborus.
Thank you! With best regards,
Peter
