Click beetle (likely a darkling- or wood-boring beetle)

Typically found in soil, leaf litter, decaying wood, stored materials, or around lights, depending on species.

Adults may eat plant material, fungi, or detritus; larvae commonly feed on roots, decaying wood, or other organic matter.

Usually nocturnal and secretive. True click beetles can spring into the air using a thoracic click mechanism when disturbed.

Generally harmless to people and pets. Larvae may damage crops or stored products, while many species recycle organic matter or help control other insects.
