Paederus fuscipes Curtis, 1826
This is a summary of general traits and distribution for the Paederus rove beetle genus.
Most species in the Paederus genus have much brighter coloration than most other rove beetles. Their elytra are colored metallic blue or green, and many species have bright orange or red markings on the pronotum and the basal abdominal segments. These bright color patterns may be an example of aposematism, which acts as a warning signal to potential predators. Paederus species have a wide distribution across the world.
