Species Profile

Sericoda quadripunctata is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. It is found in Europe and Northern Asia and North America.

Sericoda quadripunctata faces severe population declines primarily due to habitat loss from agricultural intensification and urban development in its specialized wetland environments. Climate change is altering the hydrology of its preferred habitats, while pollution from agricultural runoff degrades water quality in remaining suitable areas.
