They are toxic and have aposematic coloration. Some species of moths are mimics ( Lycomorpha pholus , Pyromorpha dimidiata ). [1]
There are about 13 described species in Calopteron. [2] [3] [1]

Calopteron reticulatum, also known as the reticulated net-winged beetle, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. It is also known as the banded net-winged beetle, though that name is also used for the closely-related and similarly-banded Calopteron discrepans. It is found in North America. Adults are active during the day, and lay their eggs on dead/decaying trees. The species also pupates in dead trees. Larva hunt in leaf litter, eating other small arthropods.
Leprus is a genus of band-winged grasshoppers in the family Acrididae. There are at least three described species in Leprus.
