Click Beetle

I caught a click beetle outside & brought it in to show the boys. Click beetles can snap their head and thorax to flip them into the air and right side up if on their back or to startle predators.

We were all entertained as I have never seen a click beetle so frenetic in its clicking.

After a moment the beetle took flight and we were unable to recapture it.
