Caterpillars, fly maggots, grubs, other adult beetles, and pupal insects number among the kinds of insects that Calosomaground beetles eat. The adult and the larval stages of the ground beetles in question receive the nickname "caterpillar hunters" since they are ferocious predators of the larval stage of lepidopterans, insect order including butterflies and moths. They serve as beneficial insects because of their control over such insect predators of edibles, functionals and ornamentals as the Colorado potato beetle (Leptinotarsa decemlineata).
