Alaus Oculatus
''Alaus oculatus'', commonly called the eastern eyed click beetle or eyed elater, is a species of click beetle. Description ''Alaus oculatus'' can reach a length of about . They have an elongated body, black in color throughout. The pronotum exhibits a large oval patch of darker scales, framed in white, on each side - the common name of the beetle derives from this feature. The elytra are striated and mottled with silvery whitish scales. The "false eyes" depicted on the pronotum are a defensive adaption that has evolved because of its advantage confusing or frightening potential predators. The eyespots are a form of self-mimicry, in which one part of the body has adapted to mimic another body part. Like all click beetles, ''A. oculatus'' is also capable of suddenly catapulting itself out of danger by releasing the energy stored by a click mechanism, which consists of a stout spine on the prosternum and a matching groove in the mesosternum. Life cycle Eggs are laid in soil or on ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Ernest Candèze
Ernest Charles Auguste Candèze was a Belgians, Belgian doctor and entomologist who was born 22 February 1827 at Liège and died in Glain, 30 June 1898. He studied in Liège under Jean Theodore Lacordaire (1801–1870), then studied medicine in Paris and Liège. Following Lacordaire's advice he joined the circle of entomologists in Liège which included his longtime friend Félicien Chapuis (1824–1879) as well as Edmond de Sélys Longchamps (1813–1900) and the English entomologist Robert McLachlan (entomologist), Robert McLachlan (1837–1904). He took part in the foundation of the Royal Belgian Entomological Society, Belgian Entomological Society. Lacordaire encouraged him to specialize in Elateridae on which he published revisions of which the very rare ''Monographie of Elateridae'' (four volumes, Liège, 1857–1863) is important. He was a friend of the French editor Pierre-Jules Hetzel (1814–1886) who pressed him to write scientific novels in order to popularize entomolo ...

Click Beetle
Elateridae or click beetles (or "typical click beetles" to distinguish them from the related families Cerophytidae and Eucnemidae, which are also capable of clicking) are a family of beetles. Other names include elaters, snapping beetles, spring beetles or skipjacks. This family was defined by William Elford Leach (1790–1836) in 1815. They are a cosmopolitan beetle family characterized by the unusual click mechanism they possess. There are a few other families of Elateroidea in which a few members have the same mechanism, but most elaterid subfamilies can click. A spine on the prosternum can be snapped into a corresponding notch on the mesosternum, producing a violent "click" that can bounce the beetle into the air. Clicking is mainly used to avoid predation, although it is also useful when the beetle is on its back and needs to right itself. There are about 9300 known species worldwide, and 965 valid species in North America. Etymology Leach took the family name from the g ...
