Since I was a child, I used to spent my holidays at the beach, and there was always an insect prowling around in the sand and places near the beach. I think I have also seen it in the country, but never in the town.
Well, I CAN'T find any information about its name or taxonomic description. I am from Spain and here is where I have seen this bug. My family and nearly people have always called it "curiana", but I have noticed that word is a synonym of "cockroach", but it is NOT any kind of cockroach at all, so I don't even know its name.
All I know is it is very similar to a "ground beetle", small size, it does not fly nor has it wings, it is inoffensive, and I see it running very often, or walking quickly.
Well, here is a photo of it (the only one I have found) and I have also posted a picture of a ground beetle in order to make it easier to compare them.
Please tell me its binomial name, if you know. Thank you.
