Epicauta Dejean, 1834 | |
Las larvas se alimentan de huevos de saltamontes; algunas especies se alimentan de huevos de otros Epicauta. Los adultos se alimentan de plantas.[2] Incluye algunas especies que son consideradas plagas para la agricultura. Segregan como defensa un líquido vesicante, la cantaridina, que produce ampollas en la piel por contacto directo y que hasta puede causar la muerte de animales como caballos si comen estos insectos.[3]
En Europa existen tres especies, Epicauta flabellicornis, Epicauta rufidorsum y Epicauta erythrocephala.[1] En Argentina se destacan dos especies Epicauta atomaria y Epicauta adspersa.
