Blind Click Beetles (Alaus myops) are common in pine and mixed hardwood forests of the southeast during spring and summer. They’re often found in woodlands with rotting logs and wood boring beetles. The large eyespots on their back help deter predators by saying “Maybe you should worry about me eating YOU.” They are a “click beetle” because they make an audible click when they flip their hinged body. Doing this makes it hard for predators to hold onto them. Click Beetles perform this trick (see

Click beetles, belonging to the family Elateridae, are renowned for their remarkable ability to perform acrobatic flips when threatened. These beetles have a unique mechanism that allows them to snap their bodies, producing a clicking sound and propelling themselves into the air. This quick, flipping movement helps them evade predators and right themselves if they land on their backs. Found worldwide, click beetles vary in size and color, often displaying elongated bodies and grooved patterns on

The click beetle (Elateridae sp.) exploring the fleshy flower of umbrella magnolia (Magnolia tripetala) is enacting a ritual that evolved more than 95 million years ago.

Over time, beetle pollination has influenced the form and even the scent of magnolia flowers. And to
