https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anisodactylus_binotatus It is native to Europe but can be found around the world. A distinctive feature of Anisodactylus binotatus is a red spot between the eyes on frons. The frons are the plate/segment of the exoskeleton which make up the front of the head between the eyes down to the mouth. Some individuals of this species have two separate red spots on the frons, this spot is elongated horizontally. The shoulders of this species are a defining feature as they are strongly developed and slightly rounded.

A. binotatus can be found under substrate such as logs, stones, and plant debris. They can also be found in fields and soil burrows like many other ground beetles. A. binotatus are lowland dwelling and can often be found near water sources such as peat bogs, and near the lake banks. It can survive in habitats and niches of anthropogenic origin. Some of these habitats include reservoirs, greenhouses, dumps, and cultivated fields with grass or herbaceous cover.

A. binotatus larvae are carnivorous, feeding on small worms and Mollusca species. Adults become omnivorous, also feeding on small seeds and strawberries. Other studies suggest that it primarily feeds on seeds during its adult stage.
