These little Tiger beetles eat a lot of my mosquitos (Aegedes sp.) in my little front garden. They (4-5 individuals) hunt on some 2-3 square meters, where only a few little plants (moss) survive - due to the drainage of the roof and frequent heavy downpours the area is often flooded; then they sit on the dry wall and take a sun bath L: ~5mmCylindera (Ifasina) holosericea FABRICIUS, 1801 [det.
