Chariessa Texana
''Chariessa'' is a genus of checkered beetles in the family Cleridae. There are about six described species in ''Chariessa''. ''Chariessa'' beetles are carnivorous and often associated with trees of the genus ''Quercus,'' likely due to a preference for wiktionary:lignicolous, lignicolous insects that live in oaks. Species These seven species belong to the genus ''Chariessa'': * ''Chariessa dichroa'' (LeConte, 1865) (North America) * ''Chariessa elegans'' Horn, 1878 (North and Central America) * ''Chariessa floridana'' Schaeffer, 1917 (North America) * ''Chariessa pilosa'' (Forster, 1771) (Palearctic realm, Palearctic, North America) * ''Chariessa texana'' Wolcott, 1908 (North America) * ''Chariessa vestita'' Chevrolat, 1835 (North, Central, and South America) * ''Chariessa catalina'' Optiz, 2017 (North America) Chariessa texana - inat 396743029.jpg, ''Chariessa texana'', Texas Chariessa pilosa P1660398a.jpg, ''Chariessa pilosa'', Oklahoma Chariessa vestita - inat 37838 ...

Cleridae
Cleridae are a family of beetles of the superfamily Cleroidea. They are commonly known as checkered beetles. The family Cleridae has a worldwide distribution, and a variety of habitats and feeding preferences. Cleridae have many Ecological niche, niches and feeding habits. Most genera are predaceous and feed on other beetles and larvae; however other genera are scavengers or pollen feeders. Clerids have elongated bodies with bristly hairs, are usually bright colored, and have variable Antenna (biology), antennae. Checkered beetles range in length between . Cleridae can be identified based on their 5–5–5 tarsal formula, division of sternites, and the absence of a special type of vesicle. Female Cleridae lay between 28–42 egg (biology), eggs at a time predominately under the Bark (botany), bark of trees. Larvae are predaceous and feed vigorously before pupation and subsequently emergence as adults. Clerids have a minor significance in forensic entomology. Some species are oc ...

Quercus
An oak is a hardwood tree or shrub in the genus ''Quercus'' of the beech family. They have spirally arranged leaves, often with lobed edges, and a nut called an acorn, borne within a cup. The genus is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere; it includes some 500 species, both deciduous and evergreen. Fossil oaks date back to the Middle Eocene. Molecular phylogeny shows that the genus is divided into Old World and New World clades, but many oak species hybridise freely, making the genus's history difficult to resolve. Ecologically, oaks are keystone species in habitats from Mediterranean semi-desert to subtropical rainforest. They live in association with many kinds of fungi including truffles. Oaks support more than 950 species of caterpillar, many kinds of gall wasp which form distinctive galls (roundish woody lumps such as the oak apple), and a large number of pests and diseases. Oak leaves and acorns contain enough tannin to be toxic to cattle, but pigs are ab ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Palearctic Realm
The Palearctic or Palaearctic is a biogeographic realm of the Earth, the largest of eight. Confined almost entirely to the Eastern Hemisphere, it stretches across Europe and Asia, north of the foothills of the Himalayas, and North Africa. The realm consists of several bioregions: the Mediterranean Basin; North Africa; North Arabia; Western, Central and East Asia. The Palaearctic realm also has numerous rivers and lakes, forming several freshwater ecoregions. Both the eastern and westernmost extremes of the Paleartic span into the Western Hemisphere, including Cape Dezhnyov in Chukotka Autonomous Okrug to the east and Iceland to the west. The term was first used in the 19th century, and is still in use as the basis for zoogeographic classification. History In an 1858 paper for the ''Proceedings of the Linnean Society'', British zoologist Philip Sclater first identified six terrestrial zoogeographic realms of the world: Palaearctic, Aethiopian/ Afrotropic, Indian/ Indom ...

Chariessa Catalina
''Chariessa catalina'' is a recently described species of North American checkered beetle. ''Chariessa catalina'' can be distinguished from '' Chariessa elegans'' by an elytra that is closer to blue than black, and a forebody that is closer to crimson than ''C. elegans''' diluted-blood red. ''C. catalina'' and ''C. elegans'' share a range in the southwestern corner of the continent but the range of ''C. elegans'' extends north toward the U.S.-Canadian border. This species seems to be most often encountered in March.
