Calopteron terminale (Say, 1823) |
Calopteron terminale, the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. [1] It is found in North America. [1]
Calopteron terminale is distinguished from other members of Calopteron by its "transverse depression across the elytra". [2] [3] It is found in woodlands, particularly in eastern North American deciduous forests. [2] iNaturalist users most frequently observe this species between July and September. [4] The eggs are deposited on dead and dying trees; after hatching the larvae then prey on small arthropods under the bark. [2]
