(Say, 1823)

Calopteron terminale, the end band net-wing, is a species of net-winged beetle in the family Lycidae.[1] It is found in North America.[1]

Calopteron terminale is distinguished from other members of Calopteron by its "transverse depression across the elytra".[2][3] It is found in woodlands, particularly in eastern North American deciduous forests.[2] iNaturalist users most frequently observe this species between July and September.[4] The eggs are deposited on dead and dying trees; after hatching the larvae then prey on small arthropods under the bark.[2]
