Sericoda quadripunctata is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae.[1][2][3][4][5] It is found in Europe and Northern Asia (excluding China) and North America.[1]

Biology

S. quadripunctata is pyrophilic and can be extremely abundant in areas that have recently experienced wildfires.[6] The eggs of S. quadripunctata have a higher rate of survival in recently heat-sterilized soil, mainly due to reduced predation by other soil-dwelling invertebrates.[7]
