Amara aenea is a metallic ground beetle species found in temperate regions of Europe and North America, characterized by its iridescent bronze or golden-green exoskeleton and terrestrial ground-dwelling behavior.
Found in open grasslands, agricultural fields, meadows, and woodland edges with sandy or loamy soils, preferring areas with moderate vegetation cover and moderate temperatures between 10-25°C.
Plays a crucial role in ecosystem functioning as a predatory ground beetle, consuming small invertebrates, helping control pest populations in agricultural landscapes and contributing to soil ecosystem dynamics.
