I found this beetle in my pool In Peru Indiana and have never seen anything like it in my 30 years here. It looked like a fishing lure. I found your site through google and found it very interesting as it had several similar click beetles. Is this one different?

Hi Bob,
The Eyed Elater, Alaus oculatus, is a very distinctly patterned Click Beetle. Those eyespots distinguish it from any other species. The adults are common in decaying logs and though they can be found nearly year round, they are most common in the spring.
