A. cERvicALis. Pretty Marsh under stone on sand which was

Elateridae. The Click Beetles 



All of the species of this family are vegetable feeders, either 

 upon the roots of grasses or the juices of rotten wood. The 

 larvae are known as Svire-worms ' and are difficult to raise, 

 as many require several years to complete their growth. They 

 are best collected by beating and from old logs and stumps, 

 but many may be lured to sweet bait on trees w^hich should be 

 visited at night. Some of the most scarce and interesting 

 species occur on the earliest 'catkins.'
