Carabidae, Carabinae, Carabini, Carabus sp. and looks like being Carabus nemoralis. Please, verify! There are tons of simialr ones around. Check size (18-22 mm or bugguide has it 22-25 mm!) and the purple color on the pronotum and maybe at the margin of the body, depending on the light or light angulation. https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Carabus_nemoralis.jpg https://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hainlaufkäfer https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carabus_nemoralis http://bugguide.net/node/view/844813/bgimage http://bugguide.net/node/view/59009/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/736734/bgpage http://bugguide.net/node/view/13702
