Hi,

I have photographed this beetle on March, the 26th 20km West of Paris in a deciduous forest.
I guess this is a Carabidae from the general outlook but is it possible to go further (genus/species)?
About 8-10mm long. Unfortunately I have no dorsal view.
Thanks for any help,
FRV

No Carabidae. Not sure, but to me it looks a bit like Tenebrionidae.

Thank you Atylotus and Maks. I was wrong then.
