La Famille des Silphidae

Silphidae is a family of beetles, commonly known as (black) carrion beetles or burying beetles, comprising about 200 species. Many species are carnivorous, although some are carrion-feeders.

The genera Phosphuga, Ablattaria and Silpha are mainly snail hunters. They spray digestive fluid into the snail-shell, and afterwards they suck the prey out of its shell. A very widely distributed European species is Phosphuga atrata.
