Bugs on the Farm, Part 2

Submitted by Joan on Sun, 10/12/2008 - 12:56.

I can't believe I took so long to post a part 2! There are so many bugs to share :)


I stumbled upon this bug back in late May climbing through a brush pile near the orchard. It was about 2" long (Big!) and had a white splatter looking design on its back along with two vivid, outlined spots over what would be a person's shoulder blades.

I prepared this collage for your enjoyment :) If anyone knows what type of bug this is, let me know! It was sure fun to look at.

Here's a site with pictures of the 'eyed click beetle' or coleoptera elatiridae. Cool bug!

Ah, Joan, you should have asked me. Its definitely in the click beetle family. It's called the Eyed Elator.
