Between 2012 and 2013 a research of carabid beetles was performed in an abandoned quarry Státní lom (Čelechovice na Hané). Capturing was conducted at three plots with early succession and at three plots with advanced succession using formaldehyde pitfall traps. In total, 42 species in the total number of 867 specimens were collected at all plots in both years. Overall eurytopic species prevailed. Among the major species, the following were detected Cylindera germanica (VU), Carabus irregularis (NT), C. scheidleri, and C. ullrichii. The quarry is mostly colonized by species preferring open habitats. Species that require unshaded habitats and species indifferent to shading occurred especially on the quarry terraces and on its outskirts. Species requiring shaded habitats, typically forest species, were found in the vicinity of the quarry and inside the quarry where a lot of bushes were growing.
