About
The red-headed cardinal beetle lives in woodlands, hedgerows, parks, and gardens. Adults enjoy basking in the sun on flowers or tree trunks. These beetles are predators and feed on other insects. The larvae of the red-headed cardinal beetle have a flattened appearance, which allows them to live under loose bark and feed on other larvae.
