Cool Click Beetle…
Category: Beetles, Ecology, Forests | Date: Jul 10 2009 | By: dududiaries
Hello - on the road here - but thought I’d share these photos of a very cool beetle. This is a Click Beetle, who is named for the sharp clicking noise they make by snapping their wing-cases against their thorax (mid-section). It is meant to alarm and scare off any would be predators. This lovely chap was photographed at Kakamega Forest - the incredible comb-like antennae enable them to locate members of the opposite sex…More soon!

Pretty cool looking beetle Dino! The comb-like antennea (sp) are certainly different looking.
