The larval stage, referred to as wireworms, are soil-dwelling pests known to damage agricultural crops. The species has been documented in Ontario and Québec, Canada. Research has examined pheromone-based trapping methods for monitoring and managing this and related Limonius species.
Limonius infuscatus
Western field wireworm
Limonius infuscatus, commonly known as the Western field wireworm, is a nocturnal click beetle native to the northwestern United States. The larval stage, referred to as a wireworm, is a soil-dwelling pest known to damage agricultural crops.

It is one of several Limonius species known as agricultural pests, with larvae commonly referred to as wireworms. The species has been documented across northern and western North America, including Canadian provinces from British Columbia to New Brunswick. Research has investigated pheromone-based trapping methods for this species as part of integrated pest management strategies.
