Life Cycle of Cylindrical click beetle
Egg The eggs of cylindrical click beetle are small and commonly laid in soil. They vary in color, often being white or pale, and are the developmental beginning where form and function are limited to simple growth.
Larva Upon hatching, larval cylindrical click beetle are worm-like, lacking wings, and have a voracious appetite. They grow through a series of molts, increasing in size, developing mouthparts for chewing, and movement capabilities.
Pupal In the pupal stage, the cylindrical click beetle is encased in a protective cocoon or cell in the environment. During this time, the cylindrical click beetle undergoes transformation, rearranging its internal structures and external features into adult form.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult cylindrical click beetle’s development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How Can You Attract Cylindrical click beetle
Given that cylindrical click beetle belongs to the family of click beetles (Elateridae), adults are generally attracted to plant material and larvae (wireworms) to roots and decaying vegetation. Appropriate trap food could include plant-based baits.
Rectangle
What is the Best Weather to Observe Cylindrical click beetle
Calm, warm, and humid evenings might be more suitable for finding adult cylindrical click beetle, as this weather encourages flight and feeding activities. The larvae can be searched for in mild and moist soil conditions, which do not desiccate them.
Rectangle
How and Where Can You Find Cylindrical click beetle at Different Life Stages
Larva Cylindrical click beetle larvae, also known as wireworms, live in the soil and feed on plant roots or decaying vegetation. To find them, carefully dig through the top layer of soil around plants, particularly where root damage is visible.
Pupal During the pupal stage, cylindrical click beetle will be relatively immobile and likely be found in the soil. To locate them, look for disturbed soil or small cavities where they may be undergoing pupation.
Adult For the adult cylindrical click beetle, look around flowers, under bark, or near outdoor lights at night. Adults are attracted to lights and can often be found nearby on light-colored surfaces.

Agricultural Pests

Larvae of cylindrical click beetle inflict damage to agricultural crops like corn and potatoes by feeding on roots and stems. This can lead to weakened growth and reduced yields. Mild infestations cause growth stress, while severe infestations can result in plant death, potentially leading to significant economic losses for farmers and impacting food supply.

Diets
Beetles, Moths
Cylindrical click beetle actively seeks out its prey, employing its sharp mandibles to secure and consume them. This predation serves primarily to sustain itself. Interestingly, while both larvae and adults are predatory, it's the larval stage that is especially voracious, hunting for the larvae of beetles and moths in the soil or under bark.
