Overview

Blethisa multipunctata is a species of ground beetle native to Europe. The habitat is stream, river and lake margins. It is amphibious, able to hunt below water for up to an hour. It is commonly known as the multidotted ground beetle.

Blethisa multipunctata faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss and degradation of wetland ecosystems. The species depends on specific bog and marsh environments that are increasingly threatened by drainage, agricultural conversion, and climate change impacts on hydrological systems.
