Click Beetle in California - Cardiophorus
Copyright © 2009 Harsi S. Parker

Click Beetle in California - Cardiophorus
Webb Canyon, ~2000 ft. altitude, Los Angeles County, California, USA
March 25, 2009
Size: ~8 - 9 mm
Found this guy resting on an Oleander leaf amidst the Oleander Aph*ids and the Large Milk*weed Bugs. My first thought is that this is a Click Beetle, but I'm prepared to be wrong... Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Mixed oak & chaparral habitat.
