Click beetle

Under bark, in rotting wood, leaf litter, fields, and gardens worldwide

Larvae (wireworms) feed on plant roots, seeds, and decaying organic matter; adults feed on nectar and pollen

Larvae can be agricultural pests damaging crops (wireworms), while adults are generally harmless and help pollinate flowers
