Agriotes sputator
TaxID: 346689
Basic Information
Agriotes sputator
Gråbrun sædsmælder, Spitting Click Beetle
Agriotes sputator, commonly known as the spitting click beetle (sputator = spitter in Latin) or the common click beetle, is a species from the family Elateridae, mainly found in Europe. Its distribution range extends to parts of Western Asia like Turkey, Syria and Iran, as well as to China in the east. It has been also recorded in parts of north-western Africa. Further, it was accidentally introduced into eastern Canada. Its natural habitat is grassland, where the larvae (wireworms) live in the soil, feeding mainly on the roots of grasses and various other plants. Crop fields are often invaded and A. sputator is regarded as a serious agricultural pest. Management relies mainly on the use of pesticides and cultural control methods, but the use of biological control agents is also being explored. The adult beetle is between 6 and 9 mm (0.24 and 0.35 in) long and has a variable coloration. Typically, it is dark brown to black, with the antennae and legs usually being reddish brown. The elytra are also often brownish.
