strange green eyed bug
Hello. We saw this bug in Big Pine Key, Florida scurrying around the deck. We were wondering what this bug is!! It has green “headlights” on its head. We thought at first it was eyes, then got a closer look. Can you tell us what this bug is???
thanks for your help,

Hi Jennifer and Kevin,

Your beetle is a Glowing Click Beetle in the genus Deilelater. We have also seen them called Fire Beetles.
