Click Beetle-Uyo-Nigeria
Hello, I am here for another post, which is about this beautiful insect which I took the picture in my garden and it is called the click beetle. This insects have a narrow and flat body, they are brownish in colour and has a tip blackish colour In it's butt. They are harmless to humans. According to this photo it is sticked on a sunflower. They lay their eggs on the soil and also develop on the soil.
They are important to humans which they help in soil health and they aid pollination, sometimes they damage crops like corn, millet ,and wheat. This particular one has a cool unique jumping skills which other insect don't have.
They often feed on nectar and soft plants.
And they are mainly found in gardens. The adults are always found on flowers and plants.
