Detail of Wintering Carabus auronitens -

-
Carabus auronitens natio helvetiae

Location: 
Lac du Grand Ballon,
Les Vosges,
France
Description: 

This ground beetle was wintering under the bark of an old beech. At night, the temperature already dropped down to almost zero degrees. During the day, when the sun pierced through the clouds, the temperature quickly rose to about ten degrees. This caused condensation on this wintering Carabus auronitens.
