A photo of a black and gray Small-eyed Click Beetle's face as it rests on a white sheet. The beetle is black and covered in tiny gray hair-like scales, It's segmented antennae rise from the front of its face above its black eyes. The small dark eye=spots which give it its name are just visible on the pronotum (the area just behind the head)

A photo of the dorsal side of the Small-Eyed Click Beetle as it rests on a white sheet. The beetle is a flattened ovoid shape and is black and covered in many fine gray hairs giving it a mottled appearance. There are two small "eye-spots" on the pronotum, just behind the beetle's face which give it its name.

Happy Thursday from this Small-eyed Click #Beetle, #Alaus myops. A large and handsome member of the family.
