Ampedus Nigricollis
''Ampedus'' is a genus of click beetles in the family Elateridae. There are currently 461 recognized species of ''Ampedus'' beetles. It has a cosmopolitan distribution, but is found mostly in the Holarctic region, primarily in North America, Europe, and Asia. The oldest known fossil from this genus was found in Eocene Baltic amber, estimated to be from 38.0–33.9 million years ago. Natural history Life cycle ''Ampedus'' larvae burrow in rotting wood, pupating in mid-summer. The larvae feed on wood, with a preference for wood in more advanced stages of decay, and are also observed to be cannibalistic on other saproxylic larvae. They emerge as adults a few weeks later, but remain in the pupal cell through the following winter. Adult ''Ampedus'' beetles are thought to be diurnal. As adults, they are pollen-feeders, found in large numbers on flowers and vegetation. ''Ampedus'' females attract males for mating through chemical communication, using specialized pheromone glands, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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 ...

Cebrionini
Cebrionini is a tribe of click beetles from the family Elateridae; formerly ranked as a subfamily or family, they are now considered a tribe within the subfamily Elaterinae. Distribution Cebrionines live in most parts of the world, but they are absent from Australia and New Zealand. They are particularly abundant in the more arid parts of the Holarctic Region, Nearctic, Palearctic, Neotropical, Afrotropical, and Oriental. Description Biological Male cebrionines fly at night and may be attracted to lights. In several genera, including '' Cebrio'', '' Selonodon'' and '' Euthysanius'', females are flightless, and other groups are known from males only. All known larvae live in the soil. General The species are 8–20 mm. in length. Ratio of body length to greatest body width 2.5–4.55. Body slightly flattened to moderately convex. Sides of body not evenly curved. Body not capable of conglobation (rolling into a ball). Upper surfaces of body clothed with distinct hairs, setae ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
