Short-horned Click Beetle

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!

生息地: Grasslands

外見

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.

おもしろい事実

If a click beetle lands on its back, it can flip over without using its legs!

The click can launch them high, sometimes 20 times their body length into the air!

Their larvae, called wireworms, can live underground for several years before transforming!
