Calopteron Terminale
''Calopteron terminale'', the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae The Lycidae are a family in the beetle order Coleoptera, members of which are commonly called net-winged beetles. These beetles are cosmopolitan, being found in Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australian ecoregions .... 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.

Net-winged Beetle
The Lycidae are a family in the beetle order Coleoptera, members of which are commonly called net-winged beetles. These beetles are cosmopolitan, being found in Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australian ecoregions.Lawrence, J.F., Hastings, A.M., Dallwitz, M.J., Paine, T.A., and Zurcher, E.J. 2000 onwards. Elateriformia (Coleoptera): descriptions, illustrations, identification, and information retrieval for families and subfamilies. Version: 9 October 200/ref> Description Beetles of this family are elongated and usually found on flowers or stems. Adult males are about 10–15 mm in length, while females are a bit larger. The adults of some species are nectarivores, while some may have short adult lives during which they may not feed at all. The head is triangular and the antennae are long, thick, and serrated. Most of them are brick-red in colour. They are protected from predators by being toxic. The predaceous larvae grow under bark or in lea ...

Calopteron Terminale P1450801a
''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''. Species These 13 species belong to the genus ''Calopteron'': * ''Calopteron anxium'' Bourgeois, 1879 * ''Calopteron cyanipenne'' Pic, 1922 * ''Calopteron discrepans'' (Newman, 1838) (banded net-winged beetle) * ''Calopteron leovazquezae'' Zaragoza-Caballero, 1996 * ''Calopteron megalopteron'' LeConte, 1861 * ''Calopteron quadraticollle'' Taschenberg, 1874 * ''Calopteron reticulatum'' (Fabricius, 1775) (banded net-wing) * ''Calopteron scenicum'' Bourgeois, 1889 * ''Calopteron serratum'' (L., 1758) * ''Calopteron terminale'' (Say, 1823) (end band net-wing) * ''Calopteron terminatum'' Latreille, 1833 * ''Calopteron tricolor'' Olivier, 1790 * ''Calopteron tropicum ''Calopteron'' is a genus of net-winged beetles in the fami ...

Elytra
An elytron (; ; , ) is a modified, hardened forewing of beetles (Coleoptera), though a few of the true bugs ( Hemiptera) such as the family Schizopteridae are extremely similar; in true bugs, the forewings are called hemelytra (sometimes alternatively spelled as "hemielytra"), and in most species only the basal half is thickened while the apex is membranous, but when they are entirely thickened the condition is referred to as "coleopteroid". An elytron is sometimes also referred to as a shard. Description The elytra primarily serve as protective wing-cases for the hindwings underneath, which are used for flying. To fly, a beetle typically opens the elytra and then extends the hindwings, flying while still holding the elytra open, though many beetles in the families Scarabaeidae and Buprestidae can fly with the elytra closed (e.g., most Cetoniinae; ). In a number of groups, the elytra are reduced to various degrees, (e.g., the beetle families Staphylinidae and Ripiphoridae), o ...

Arthropod
Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phylum Arthropoda. They are distinguished by their jointed limbs and Arthropod cuticle, cuticle made of chitin, often Mineralization (biology), mineralised with calcium carbonate. The arthropod body plan consists of segments, each with a pair of appendages. Arthropods are bilaterally symmetrical and their body possesses an exoskeleton, external skeleton. In order to keep growing, they must go through stages of moulting, a process by which they shed their exoskeleton to reveal a new one. Some species have wings. They are an extremely diverse group, with up to 10 million species. The haemocoel, an arthropod's internal cavity, through which its haemolymph – analogue of blood – circulates, accommodates its interior Organ (anatomy), organs; it has an open circulatory system. Like their exteriors, the internal or ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
