Checkered beetles have a worldwide distribution, and a variety of habitats and feeding preferences. Most genera are predators, feeding on other beetles and larvae, however other genera are scavengers or pollen feeders.
Checkered beetles have elongated bodies with bristly hairs, are usually bright colored, and have variable antennae and range in size from 3 and 24mm in length. Females lay between 28–42 eggs usually under the tree bark. The larvae are predaceous and feed vigorously before pupation and subsequently emerge as adults. Clerids have a minor significance in forensic entomology, and some species are occasionally found on carrion in the later dry stages of decay.
