Scarites subterraneus is a carnivorous beetle. This is clear when looking at its large jaws, which it uses to hunt its prey. [7] The specific diet of S. subterraneus is not remarkably clear (they seem to be willing to eat any invertebrate in any stage of life), but in captivity they have been observed to eat mealworms.
Scarites is a genus of ground beetle native to the Palearctic, the Near East, North America and North Africa, India. There are more than 190 described species in Scarites with more than 55 described species from India. [1] These beetles share physical characteristics of the more tropical stag beetles, but are not closely related.
Beetles are commonly baited with banana, optionally with beer, rum and/or sugar, [4] [5] and can also be attracted with a mixture of red wine, vinegar and sugar. Wasps can be drawn into a funnel type bottle trap using syrup, a soft drink or sugar water. Bread soaked with beer will attract cockroaches.
Scarites buparius reach a length of about 35–40 millimetres (1.4–1.6 in), with a maximum of 60 millimetres (2.4 in). [4] The basic black color of this glossy beetle is aposematic, highlighting clearly the body on the sandy substrate. Elytra present thin and shallow striae, almost absent in larger specimen.
The Malaise trap, a more complex type, is a mesh tent-like trap that captures insects that tend to fly up rather than down when impeded. [ 1 ] Pan traps (also called water pan traps) are simple shallow dishes filled with a soapy water or a preservative and killing agent such as antifreeze .

A flight interception trap (or FIT) is a widely used trapping, killing, and preserving system for flying insects. It is especially well-suited for collecting beetles , since these animals usually drop themselves after flying into an object, [ 1 ] rather than flying upward (in which case a Malaise trap is a better option).
Dice the tomatoes. Chop the jalapeno, onion and tarragon. Place into blender. Add the clam juice, celery salt and lemon. Blend until smooth. Place ice in a glass.
