Description
Behold the eyed click beetle. This little critter is considered beneficial because they eat a lot of wood boring insects in their grub stage. It is easy to see where the "eyed" part of the name comes from (the eyes are not really eyes, but are spots). The "click" part comes from their tendency to snap their head and prothorax when threatened or if they fall onto their back. The action causes a prominent click.
This photo is in color. The bug is gray white and black and he is on the tire of my truck.
