Click Beetle

6219 Hello, this was walking across my office table. May 27, Exterior temperature was about 25 degrees, interior air controlled to 22. It seemed to be all one color, with wings. We did some planting recently of cedar trees that came from British Columbia. From Toronto Ontario.

Number 6219 – This is a click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae). The adult beetles primarily are leaf feeders, but very seldom cause any real damage. Their larvae (often called wireworms) have varied feeding habits; a few species can be garden/agricultural pests. Click here for more detailed information.
