After heavy rain the previous night, the weather was warm and overcast as fourteen participants completed this week's survey. Easily mistaken for a large June Beetle, the Rain Click Beetle shown below is actually in the family elateridae. Males swarm during rain, presumably to mate; females are unknown and probably flightless, spending their lives mostly underground.
