Click beetle

Found under tree bark, in decaying wood, forests, and agricultural fields worldwide.

Larvae feed on plant roots, tubers, and decaying organic matter; adults feed on nectar, pollen, and plant juices.

Famous for a click-mechanism that snaps their bodies upward to escape predators or right themselves when upside down.

Larvae can be agricultural pests damaging crops, while adults are generally harmless and help pollinate flowering plants.
