About Calopteron terminale (Say, 1823)
Calopteron terminale, commonly known as the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle belonging to the family Lycidae. This species is native to North America. It can be distinguished from other species in the genus Calopteron by a characteristic transverse depression that spans across its elytra. It inhabits woodlands, and occurs particularly in deciduous forests across eastern North America. Observations logged by iNaturalist users show that this species is most frequently spotted between the months of July and September. Female C. terminale deposit their eggs on dead and dying trees. After the eggs hatch, the larvae hunt and feed on small arthropods that live under the bark of these trees.
