# Epicauta

Epicauta koleoptero melodiaen genero bat da, kontinente guztietan agertzen dena, Australian eta Ozeanian izan ezik. 400 espezie inguru biltzen ditu. Europan hiru espezie identifikatu dira: Epicauta flabellicornis, Epicauta rufidorsum eta Epicauta erythrocephala.

## Biologia

Larbak matxinsaltoen arrautzez elikatzen dira; espezie batzuk beste epicauta batzuen arrautzez elikatzen dira. Helduak landarez elikatzen dira. Nekazaritzarako izurritetzat hartzen diren espezie batzuk barne hartzen ditu. Defentsa gisa, maskuriko likido bat jariatzen dute, kantaridina, larruazalean babak sortzen dituena kontaktu zuzenaren bidez, eta zaldiak bezalako animaliak hiltzea ere eragin dezakeena intsektu horiek janez gero.
