Banded Net-wing Beetle
Banded Net-wing Beetle (Calopteron reticulatum)
Food: Larvae and adults predaceous, according to some references. Others state that adults take plant juices, nectar, and larvae prey on small insects and mites under bark.
Life Cycle: Eggs laid on bark of dead or injured trees. Larvae feed on other insects under bark and pupate there. Moths, such as Lycomorpha, mimic these (apparently distasteful) beetles.
