Proludius pyrros
Proludius pyrros is a species of click beetle in the family Elateridae. The genus Proludius was established relatively recently, with species previously assigned to related genera such as Ludius. Based on iNaturalist records, this species has been documented over 1,200 times, indicating it is moderately well-observed in the field. Like other elaterids, it possesses the distinctive prosternal process that enables the characteristic "clicking" jumping mechanism.
