Lebia grandis belongs to a large family of beetles containing approximately 40,000 species. The cosmopolitan genus Lebia contains approximately 450 species. Forty-eight species occur in North America north of Mexico. The life history is known for only two of the North American species. The adults are predators, as with many carabid beetles, but larvae are ectoparasitoids of pupae or prepupae (mature larvae) of chrysomelid beetles.
