Aeolus subornatus
Aeolus subornatus is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae. The genus Aeolus contains numerous small, often inconspicuously colored species that are frequently overlooked due to their cryptic habits. Like other elaterids, adults possess the characteristic prosternal process that enables the clicking/jumping defensive mechanism. The species is poorly documented in scientific literature, with only three observations recorded on iNaturalist as of the knowledge cutoff.
