Timorpersonae are disparate in outward physical characteristics, but share behavioural traits rarely found in other species. These coleoptera tend to be highly aggressive and the manner of capturing and consuming their prey is often playful and/or extended and will almost always show agonistic tendencies.
Species of the family Timorpersonae have sometimes been observed displaying ritualised behaviour when stalking and catching their prey and may sometimes engage in mating displays when feeding and vice versa.
