Click Beetle
Athous subfuscus
59.0806, 9.65074
Field Notes
Description:
If you touch it, a spine on the underside of the thorax can be snapped into a corresponding notch that will produce a "click". Then it will bounce 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.
Habitat:
Forest edge.
Notes:
Norwegian name: Busksmeller
