Description

The Eyed Click Beetle is nearly two inches long (one of the largest click beetles) and has a range throughout the eastern United States and up through Ontario, Canada. The big eye designs are merely markings that probably scare away predators. The real eyes are quite small and are found at the base of the antennae.

This is the family of beetles that as kids we'd lay on their backs to watch them "click" and pop upright.

I believe this one is laying eggs in the hole in the decaying log. the picture was taken May 2, 2011, in Green Lane, Pennsylvania, USA.

You are very generous, Kathy - thanks:>) I do like to find the smaller things that people often miss; it's fun to introduce them to the world at their feet LOL. Many thanks for the V/F, too!
