Soldier beetles

By LotaLota
Cantharis livida (lit. Juodablauzdis minkstavabalis) The Soldier beetles (Cantharidae) are relatively soft-bodied, straight-sided beetles. They are cosmopolitan in distribution. One of the first described species has a color pattern reminiscent of the red coats of early British soldiers, hence the common name.
