SIZE AND DESCRIPTION

Length 7–10mm. Long black or dark brown thorax and ridged brown back. Larva is brown with a thin segmented body.

HABITAT

Grassland, including parks and gardens, throughout Europe except far north.

FOOD AND HABITS

Flies May–July. Adults chew grasses and flowers, especially stamens with pollen. Larvae cause severe damage to roots. Click beetles are so-called because they can flip over when threatened or overturned, propelling themselves up to 30cm into the air. They do this by bending their body, making an audible click as they do so.
