Click Beetle

Found globally in diverse environments including fields, forests, and gardens; commonly attracted to lights in homes.

Adults primarily eat plants, nectar, and pollen; larvae (known as wireworms) eat roots, seeds, and decomposing organic matter.

Known for their unique clicking mechanism where they snap their body to launch themselves into the air to right themselves or escape predators.

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or sting. Some wireworm larvae are agricultural pests, while other species help decompose organic material.
