Click Beetle

Found worldwide in diverse environments including forests, grasslands, and agricultural fields; often seen near lights at night.

Larvae (wireworms) typically feed on roots, seeds, and underground stems; adults may eat nectar, pollen, or small insects.

Best known for their ability to 'click' and flip into the air to escape predators or right themselves when upside down using a specialized spine on their prosternum.

Adults are generally harmless to humans; however, the larvae (wireworms) can be significant agricultural pests that damage crops by feeding on root systems.
