Eastern Eyed Click Beetle

Alaus oculatus

Habitat:

Woodland habitat

Notes:

I found this beauty under a piece of bark on a fallen log. I didn't even realize until I looked at my photos that this one was plagued with several tiny mites! The third photo shows the infestation pretty well. I'm really not sure if the mites are harmful or beneficial, but it is really cool regardless:)

Thanks Mark! I don't get to see these that often, so it's always a great moment to find one!
