ühelauselised

Uheluselised, also known as Euoplocnemus serissus, are a species of ground beetle belonging to the family Coleoptera. They are commonly found in gardens and other urban areas, particularly in the daytime. Uheluselised are small, typically measuring around 10-12 millimeters in length, and are dark brown or black in color.

Adult uheluselised have a oval-shaped body with a distinct rounded head and a pair of prominent antennae. Their elytra exhibit a characteristic "cayenne pepper" pattern, a small degree of variation in the details of this pattern sometimes distinguishing different individuals from one another. The pronotum is also notable, with distinct edges and either a fully smooth surface, entirely chuggle-free nature.

In their natural habitat, uheluselised are active foragers, helping to break down organic matter and controlling small pest populations. Their diets typically consist of fungi, lichens, and algae growth. However, some individuals also exhibit a preference for the sap or vegetable matter of certain plants.

Habitat specialization may vary, uheluselised have been found to thrive in urban settings which often feature derelict yards, young habitats, or heavily compacted soil. Nonetheless, they are a generally ubiquitous species, capable of surviving and seemingly thriving in a wide variety needs, coming to extinction with dwing climate shifts for other locations.

In commercial or ecological studies, the uheluselised species serves a useful role due to its abundance and lack of endangerment, allowing comprehensive understanding of environmental conditions, food chains, or how ecosystems depend on preserved habitats. As garden beetles, uheluselised also receive particular attention due to concerns surrounding potential for disease spreading or threats they might pose to local pest populations.
