Moved, thanks Scott!
Another one I am missing LOL

There are a lot of Agriotes in N.A. but don't see them much (of course, I usually have not lived in places where they are more common, e.g. in the North)

Moved from Click Beetles.

I have only found a single specimen so far
but I'm always looking for more. I'm only a 25% of the BC fauna so plenty to keep me busy!

Oh...looks like I do have A. sparsus
checked my records (and the specimen), and I have one female from Marion Co, OR. I have 18 Agriotes spp, but only 3 from PNW :)
