Alaus oculatus
George Washington national forest, next to Shenandoah River
Hi! I am from Germany, here these bugs are called " Schnellkäfer", so in English I think this beetle is a kind of so called "click beetles", the scientific name of this one would be "Alaus oculatus", but I am not sure. Click beetles are very fascinating. In danger they can catapult themselves very high, some of them can even fluoresce. Greetings from Germany!
