I've seen a lot of these net winged beetles in my yard lately - the one I picked to photograph has something weird going on with it. Were its legs caught in a web and tangled over its back? It should have 6 legs and 2 long antennae that look like they're armored with brass plates.
They have a raise network of what look like lines or veins on their wings - this is the reticulated net winged beetle, Calopteron reticulatum.
They feed on debris from other insects and plants in leaf litter
