Dycladia &eacute; um g&ecirc;nero de mariposas da ordem Lepidoptera, subdivis&atilde;o Bombycina, superfam&iacute;lia Noctuoidea, fam&iacute;lia Erebidae, subfam&iacute;lia Arctiinae e tribo Arctiini que mimetizam os besouros rendados da fam&iacute;lia Lycidae e alguns Hymen&oacute;pteros. Esse curioso e evolu&iacute;do mecanismo de defesa &eacute; utilizado para evitarem predadores; o prov&aacute;vel motivo &eacute; atribu&iacute;do ao mal gosto de besouros Lyc&iacute;deos, que predadores tendem a evitar e, no caso das que mimetizam Hymen&oacute;pteros (particularmente da subordem Symphyta), atribu&iacute;do &agrave; suas naturezas potencialmente perigosas. Lagartas Arcti&iacute;neas geralmente se alimentam de uma grande variedade de graminhas, arbustos, ervas e plantas em geral, sendo polifit&oacute;fagas, mas desconhe&ccedil;o a alimenta&ccedil;&atilde;o dos adultos e das larvas de Dycladia. Esp&eacute;cies dos g&ecirc;neros Correbia e Correbidia tamb&eacute;m mimetizam besouros Lyc&iacute;deos, particularmente Colobothea. Mais informa&ccedil;&otilde;es ser&atilde;o apreciadas, pois h&aacute; pouca informa&ccedil;&atilde;o sobre esse g&ecirc;nero na Internet.

Dycladia is a genus of moths in the order Lepidoptera, subdivision Bombycina, superfamily Noctuoidea, family Erebidae, subfamily Arctiinae and tribe Arctiini that mimic net-winged beetles of the family Lycidae and some Hymenopterans. This curious characteristic is an evolved defensive mechanism to ward off predators; the reason to this is most likely attributed to the foul taste of Lycid beetles, which predators most often avoid and, in the case of the ones that mimetize Hymenopterans (particularly in the suborder Symphyta), attributed to their potentially dangerous nature. Arctiine caterpillars generally feed on a wide variety of grasses, shrubs, herbs and plants in general, being polyphytophagous, but I&#039;m unsure of the feeding habits of both the adult and the larvae of Dycladia. Species of the genera Correbia and Correbidia also mimetize Lycid beetles, particularly Colobothea. There is not much information on them available in the Internet, if you know more please tell me. At first I thought this was Dycladia lucetius but I changed my mind. The wingspan of this individual was of approximately 2,5cm, but this is doubtful.<br />
