Spring and latch mechanism flings click beetles into the air

Physics World, 2021
Click beetles use the elastic recoil of a spring-like mechanism in their exo-skeleton to throw themselves into the air. The mechanism of the insects’ motion was discovered using high-speed synchrotron X-ray imaging.

Reactions of Male Click Beetles in the Laboratory to Olfactory Pheromones

The Canadian Entomologist, 1965
AbstractSex attractants were demonstrated in extracts of virgin females from four species, representing three genera, of elaterids. Each attractant was species specific. An olfactometer is described that permitted paper chromatograms of the extracts to be bio-assayed for pheromone activity.

Characterization of luciferases and its paralogue in the Panamanian luminous click beetle Pyrophorus angustus: A click beetle luciferase lacks the fatty acyl-CoA synthetic activity

Gene, 2010
Two luciferase genes (dPaLuc and vPaLuc) and one paralogue of luciferase (PaLL) were isolated from the Panamanian luminous click beetle, Pyrophorus angustus (Elateridae, Pyrophorinae). The transcripts of dPaLuc and vPaLuc were predominantly detected in the body parts with dorsal photophore and ventral photophore, respectively, and the transcript of ...

The jump of the click beetle (Coleoptera: Elateridae)—energetics and mechanics

Journal of Zoology, 1973
Some aspects of the energetics and mechanics of two jumps made by a single specimen of Athous haemorrhoidalis (Fab.) are considered. In the first jump, the 40 mg beetle had a take‐off velocity of 2–4 m/s and the jumping action occurred in about 064 ms; in the second jump, the take/off velocity was 2–26 m/s and the jumping action took about 0–53 ms ...

The jump of the click beetle (Coleoptera, Elateridae)—a preliminary study

Journal of Zoology, 1972
A preliminary account is given of the jump of the click beetle, Athous haemorrhoidalis (F.). The jump is normally made from an inverted position. It involves a jack‐knifing movement whereby a prosternal peg is slid very rapidly down a smooth track into a mesosternal pit.
