Interesting insects

Two of the Upper Delaware region’s more striking insect inhabitants made appearances last week. Though very different, both are attention-getters due to their large size and unusual physical characteristics, including eye-like spots that help to dissuade potential predators.

Harmless to humans, the Eastern eyed click beetle gets its name from the sharp snapping sound made by an overturned beetle as it rights itself by flipping into the air and landing upright. This clever trick is accomplished by inserting a fingerlike spine on the insect’s thorax into a groove in its middle thorax (see photo).
