Click Beetle

Outdoors in gardens, fields, and forests; often attracted to lights and found entering homes through small gaps.

Larvae (wireworms) feed on plant roots and seeds; adults typically feed on plant juices, pollen, or nectar.

Characterized by a unique 'clicking' mechanism where they snap a spine on their thorax to flip themselves into the air if turned upside down or to escape predators.

They are harmless to humans and do not bite or sting. While they can be a minor nuisance indoors, they do not cause structural damage; some larvae species are agricultural pests.
