Red-fronted Click Beetle
Athous rufifrons is a species of click beetle (family Elateridae) described by Randall in 1838. The common name 'Red-fronted Click Beetle' refers to a distinctive color pattern on the head or pronotum. Like other members of Elateridae, it possesses the characteristic clicking mechanism that allows the beetle to right itself when flipped onto its back. The species is documented from eastern Canada with scattered observation records.
