Calopteron reticulatum, also known as the reticulated net-winged beetle,[1] is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae. It is also known as the banded net-winged beetle,[2] though that name is also used for the closely related and similarly banded Calopteron discrepans.[3] It is found in North America.[4][5][6] 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.[1]
