Lycid Beetle - Toxic Beetle - Net-winged Beetle - Lycidae

Lycid beetles, also known as net-winged beetles (Lycidae), are seen flapping their wings during rain in a forest near Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on July 14, 2025. These beetles, typically orange and black in color, are toxic and serve as a warning to predators. They are found on flowers and foliage after rain and inhabit diverse ecoregions, including the Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, Oriental, and Australian regions. Some adults feed on nectar, while others do not feed during their short adult life spans. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
