Bioluminescent Click Beetle

Notes:

A few of these came into the house before we got netting on the windows. They are funny. If they stop moving the lights power down; if you give them a gentle poke they jump about 6 inches high & make a sizzling sound.

These beetle are so cool! I wasn't sure what it was when I first spotted one.

Haven't noticed any glowing fungi around here but then I haven't really looked either.

Do they eat glowing fungi that causes the glowing?
