| Cleridae is a family of carnivorous beetles. The larvae of some species, e.g. in the genus Trichodes, live in the nests of bee larvae; they consume both the bee larva and the stored pollen, so they are both predator and kleptoparasite. They are especially associated with bees of the subfamily Megachilidae. |
