Click Beetle

Found in diverse environments including woodlands, grasslands, and suburban gardens; often attracted to lights at night and may enter homes.

Adults often feed on nectar, pollen, or soft plant tissues; larvae (known as wireworms) typically live in the soil feeding on roots and seeds.

Known for their unique clicking mechanism used to right themselves if flipped onto their backs or to escape predators; many species are nocturnal and attracted to artificial light.

Harmless to humans as they do not bite or sting; however, their larval form (wireworms) can be significant agricultural pests by damaging the roots of crops.
