Net-winged beetle

Forests, woodlands, and areas with decaying wood or vegetation.

Adults often feed on nectar and pollen, while larvae typically consume decaying wood, fungi, and slime molds.

Slow-moving, often found resting on foliage or wood. Their bright coloration serves as a warning of toxicity to predators.

Generally harmless to humans; they act as beneficial decomposers in woodland ecosystems and serve as pollinators.
