Danosoma brevicorne
The Short-horned Click Beetle is a small, shiny insect that loves to hide in grass and under leaves. When it flips over, it makes a fun clicking sound to help it get back on its feet!
Hábitat: Grasslands
The Short-horned Click Beetle is an elongated, sturdy beetle, typically dark brown to black, sometimes with reddish tones. It has very short, serrated antennae that resemble tiny horns. Its body is somewhat flattened, and its head is narrower than its thorax, distinguishing it from many other beetles.
