Omophron ovale, the oval round sand beetle, is a species of ground beetle in the family Carabidae. [1] [2] [3] [4] It is found in North America. [1] Inhabiting mostly the margins of freshwater ponds, streams, and lakes (as well as some sea beaches and salt marshes), O. ovale are riparian and burrow into sand and mud. [5] O. ovale, as all Carabidae, go through complete metamorphosis. This consists of three distinct stages before becoming an adult— egg, then larva, then pupa. [6] O. ovale are around 4.5mm to 6.6mm in length and have a distinctive pattern on their body, with yellowish tan and metallic green markings. [6]
