Click Beetle

Typically found in soil, leaf litter, rotting wood, and occasionally inside homes attracted to lights.

Adults mostly feed on nectar and pollen; larvae (known as wireworms) feed on decaying plant matter or roots.

Characterized by a unique clicking mechanism that allows them to snap their body and flip into the air to escape predators or right themselves when turned over.

They are harmless to humans; however, at the larval stage (wireworms), they can be agricultural pests that damage the root systems of crops.
