Now this is bug-eyed



What big eyes you have. Oh, wait. Those aren't your eyes.

The Eyed Elater aka Eyed Click Beetle has spots on its back that look like large eyes.

Freddie the dog found this one. When I put my gloved hand over the Eyed Elater, it started clicking. I turned my hand over, and the beetle climbed up my glove.

When it decided to take it off, it flew over the roof of the house.

Strong flier!
Its eyes are actually located just behind the antenna.
