End band net-wing

Description

Calopteron terminale, the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. It is found in North America. Calopteron terminale is distinguished from other members of Calopteron by its "transverse depression across the elytra". It is found in woodlands, particularly in eastern North American deciduous forests, most frequently between July and September. The eggs are deposited on dead and dying trees; after hatching the larvae then prey on small arthropods under the bark. Calopteron is a genus of net-winged beetles in the family Lycidae. They are toxic and have aposematic coloration. Some species of moths are mimics (Lycomorpha pholus, Pyromorpha dimidiata). There are about 13 described species in Calopteron.
