OMG! Those things are so scary......I was just sitting in my bed and all of a sudden i hear a clicking noise i look over down on the ground next to my bed and this little bug is clicking and bouncing around.....I immediatly screamed out to my mum and dad O..O
@hnbbs No it was on the carpet just before and was doing the same thing. also, i just had one in my room and was doing the same thing. can't walk for shit lol
@hnbbs im an anerchist and i say you do what ever the fu!! you want as long as its notgoing to hurt anyone and my iders are better and help evry one rather than a select few we are all PEOPLE and we WILL make the goverment fall to there knees and admit that we are all in human farms and will BE FREE
taxation is theft and i say that that bug is a pest like the goverment suld be jaild, JAILS ARE EVIL the
goverment who were made to protectus ends up enslaving us like farmers with animals BE FREE
I just found one.... But it wasn't jumping! It was making that annoying clicking sound, but it is not jumping and no glowing eyes but i know its still a Clicking Beetle. I googled "what kinda bug makes a click noise" and it brought me here. i am glad to know what it is tho :p
Thank you! I had one of these in my room last night and it scared the **** out of me. The one I saw didn't glow like this one though and it was a little smaller. Maybe they're different in Texas.
i just fuckin killed one under my tv, had no clue what the fuck it was so i googled clicking insect and it brought me here :p i killed that shit dead tho $:
@TheBredschnek I know the feeling. That was the second one I saw. The first one was in an outside laundry room at night. It scared me. The one in the video was the second one I saw. They are strange.
I found 3 of these little critters in the last two days at a friend's house. Completely harmless, but they weren't bioluminescent, which is what i was hoping for. I guess those kind arent native in texas =/.
@flameboy85 When I made the video I was in Miami FL. I have now been in Fort Worth TX for about a year and a half and I have not seen any of them here. I guess I should have brought a breeding pair with me. Just kidding.. Just kidding.
lol I JUST saw one of those in my room! I thought it was dead cuz it was just laying on it's back motionless but when I went to pick it up it jumped a foot in the air and scared the crap out of me lol.
@TheToshFan I dont think all glow, I found one just about 20-30 minuets ago, when I released it outside it didnt glow either, but it did jump, so theres nothing to be afraid of
Actually I found one in my house today and place a food cover thingy over it cuz i had to leave and I was searching too see what kind of bug it was and found some videos on youtube on it like this one and felt (not alone ) lol....im going to put it outside...dont need this bug clicking around in my room lol...
that is the strangest bug I've ever seen. it kind of reminds me of a roach with lights on it. good thing ive never seen one of these in real life otherwise id run like crazy..
Me and my wife freaked last night we thought it was just a glow from the surge protector, but then she saw it moving. I stepped on it and it started clicking and I jumped lmao!
Saw one just a few min ago..heard a click and looked behind me and it was the click beetle. Its eyes where glowing green. Iv seen a few the last couple years. (Miami,florida)
I'm in Miami too. I saw one last night in my room! Never saw anything like it before down here. My room was dark except my laptop and I only saw the two lights slowly moving in the darkness. At first I thought I was sing a reflection in my glasses from my modem behind me lol. Once I found out what it was and it wouldn't kill me I covered it with a cup and let it free outside this morning :)
Looked it up and it appears to me to be what is termed a Pyrophorus (beetle) even though its a click bug too. One article I read mentions Texas and Florida as having them not up in TN or AL so that makes since then. There also some down in South America.
I've lived in the south all my life just up above ya'll and I've seen a bunch of click bugs especially when I was little. The ones I saw were always brown or some more on the black side, but I've never seen this species with spots that glow luminescent like a lighting bug before. Awesome, I wonder if it’s a subspecies only native to Florida?
Click beetles are related to fireflies, but what is interesting is that there are species of cockroach (a completely different insect) with glowspots in this very same pattern.
@JoeCapricorn Oh gross.. a species of cockroach with neon lights. Just think you could walk into a room and not have to turn on the light and see them moving around. I am now living in Texas and have not seen any the click beetles yet and thank God no cockroachs other than our Gov.
@luxm514 I see from your YouTube page that you are 16. So you can take classes and end up being an entomologist one day. See about volunteering at nature centers or a zoo or something ... Good luck.
@incomprehensible1 I was surprised about the glowing. I did not know there were bugs like that other than the normal lighting bugs when I was a kid in Missouri. I guess there are a lot of things like that in nature. I guess that shows how much I know about nature. I saw some show on TV recently that talked about different things on the land and many in the oceans.
Pretty neat. If I was young and going to school I think that is a subject I would look into as a job for life.
@SDChick Yes glowing..I did not know about them until I found that in the house (Miami, FL). Some people have commented that they saw one and it scared them. It does seem very odd.
@hnbbs It scared me. Thanks for informing me their beetles, but they still looked like small roaches to me. I've seen 2 (exactly like the one in the vid) so far in my house in different occasions, and every time I stepped on it they wouldnt die. very persistent creatures. hope i dont see any more. its quite scary seeing them in the dark. and even scarier when you turn on the lights!
@Nephaelye They are scary until you know what they are... Maybe you could just put them outside instead of stepping on them. Yes, I am a bleeding heart liberal. Smile
I grew up with these in the back yard! They can get pretty annoying when there are a few of them. I had a fox terrier that used to bark at them.(As if to tell them to stop doing that)
i just had one of these things crawling and jumping around right outside my room. i've lived in florida my whole life and this was the first time i saw one. thing freaked me the hell out with it's clicking and jumping and especially the glowing ha ha
One of those has been coming into my room the past 3 nights! Killed all three but somehow there are more entering my room D8 Oh, and the ones I see aren't glowing.....man, hope I don't have a nest in my room er something :S
I had one of them in my room, wow, it scared me lol... i had no clue what it was. It was a baby though. Hopefully i won't run in to the mom or dad lol.
Was Upstairs one night and heard a strange popping noise... went downstairs cautiously and discovered a rather small insect cataphulting itself into the air. But seriously does this bug have a name?
Here in TN, they are called "Clicking Beatles", they are funny to watch... Also you can handle them with no problems... When in your hand they click or snap and jump out of your hand...
wow i thought these were cockroaches i was going to freak out..i foudn two in my kitchen...i killed them little fuckers...they didnt glow like that though...but they did click like a mo fo when i got ahold of them...somtimes escapeing...very strong bugs
I wish the ones we had here glowed. They'd be so much easier to find! I can hear the blasted things and I try to find them but for the life of me my eyes are useless. I know it's in that corner...I can hear it...but I still never find it.
@tdub731 I think that was because it was inside. I remember months or years before at the other place we lived in Miami I was at the outside laundry room and it was very late and dark. I saw two glowing lights on the ground.. and I was thinking it was two lighting bugs and then I looked and saw it.. I was thinking what the hell is that..two glowing eyes.. Then it was gone..I had an uneasy feeling and did my laundry the next time during the day time. I never told anyone about that bug!
it was 4 a.m and i just came across it under my bed and i was like damn i hope thats not a bug and i squashed it with a shoe and its eyes turned on and i freaked and i hear at 4:56 am not knowing what to do i might not sleep.i live in florid, miami and this is my first time seeing this.
@M5eannaJ No not poisonous. Since I made that video I have moved to Fort Worth (Texas) to get away from them. Just kidding.. I moved but not to get away from them. One commenter said he had seen them in Texas. I will keep my non-glowing eyes out for them.
@hnbbs i live in texas city texas and they are everywhere i just painted my room black well just one wall ans now at night i wake ip with hem crawling on me its freaking scary
@hnbbs we live in brownsville and my husband just found one lol, he was like what the heck is that... brownsville is the southmost part of texas and since tha is exactly what we were looking for I can confirm thy are here too lol
@hnbbs we live in brownsville and my husband just found one lol, he was like what the heck is that... brownsville is the southmost part of texas and since tha is exactly what we were looking for I can confirm thy are here too lol
one of these crawled up my neck right now, i thought it was like another bug so i just grabbed it and threw it idk if its still alive or playing dead ...lol =\ opps
Yes, I live in South Florida and have tons of these in my front and back yard. They only seem to be around in June but not every year though. The only thing stranger than the bugs is that nobody else that we know has ever seen them. They seem to be concentrated mainly in our area.
this is my one and only phobia.. the cucuyo. omg i hate these things. i cant go near one, see it, or talk about one without having a complete break down.
Phyroporus, it is considered the brightest bioluminiscent insect of them all.
It is known as TUCU in Southamerica and I just happened to bump into one at San luis Potosí, it was inside my hotel room, the "snap" sound woke me up.. :) where they are seen more often....
We had one of those on the windshield of the car a few nights back, I've been in Houston 10 years and tend to notice things like bugs, but this was the first time I've ever seen one. Good to know what it is.
There was one of those stuck in some cobwebs under my computer case. The f*cking thing scared me because I thought it was something sparking inside my computer case.. T_T
Oh, my gosh! I became acquainted with this insect last night! It crawled up my leg, I swatted at it, and it hit the ground. I heard it CLICK, and I started freaking out (I hate bugs in general). Now I know they're harmless; it just scared me when it made that sound. I've lived in San Jose, CA all my life, and that was the first time I saw one.
When I was a kid in South Texas, we used to call these "clicker bugs" and play with them. They were cool because they had glowing green eyes. But the ones that are invading my house now in North Texas seem more sinister since they are always landing on me and have mean looking red eyes.
I'm from the same area. I'm starting to see more and more of these pesky little bugs. The first time I ever seen one was a few months ago when I was sleeping and one woke me with the clicking noise that it makes. Good thing these things aren't dangerous.
OMG IT WAS HIARIOUS!!! I was at the skate park and like me and my bf were sartt there and i heard a big CLICK! and i looks behind me and saw one of these sadly the one i saw didnt glow on its back , mind you i woulda whipped my phone out and recorded it
Last night I heard a clicking sound in my room while I was in bed. I turned on the light and saw that bug in my room. When I went by it, it clicked an jumped up like 3 inches! I live in New Jersey and thought no bug like this could be native to this region.
Click beetles are found absolutely everywhere in America, they were one of the most common insects I ever saw in Maryland. Glowing ones are only in a few southern states, though.
I live in Miami florida and we used to have a bunch of these things. Too bad after the hurricane they seemed to leave. But there are still a few, saw one tonight. Though I'm used to a Cuban term/spanish called "Cocuo". Not sure if that's how you spell it, but it's said, Coke-coo-yo.
haha unfortunately, that click beetle can't get upright, i just found one in my basement, i was gonna call it the popcorn beetle, then i realized it was click beelt,e but the one i have it amazing, and really strong, im gonna feed it cashews
We get those in California, too. Very common. But yours is glowing. Why was it glowing?

@M5eannaJ No not poisonous. Since I made that video I have moved to Fort Worth (Texas) to get away from them. Just kidding.. I moved but not to get away from them. One commenter said he had seen them in Texas. I will keep my non-glowing eyes out for them.

one of these crawled up my neck right now, i thought it was like another bug so i just grabbed it and threw it idk if its still alive or playing dead ...lol =\ opps

Yes, I live in South Florida and have tons of these in my front and back yard. They only seem to be around in June but not every year though. The only thing stranger than the bugs is that nobody else that we know has ever seen them. They seem to be concentrated mainly in our area.

this is my one and only phobia.. the cucuyo. omg i hate these things. i cant go near one, see it, or talk about one without having a complete break down.

When I first saw these things, I didn't know they could jump so I looked really close at it, and it sprung right at my eye.
Funny yet Fascinating little creatures.

Phyroporus, it is considered the brightest bioluminiscent insect of them all.
It is known as TUCU in Southamerica and I just happened to bump into one at San luis Potosí, it was inside my hotel room, the "snap" sound woke me up.. :) where they are seen more often....

We had one of those on the windshield of the car a few nights back, I've been in Houston 10 years and tend to notice things like bugs, but this was the first time I've ever seen one. Good to know what it is.

Oh, my gosh! I became acquainted with this insect last night! It crawled up my leg, I swatted at it, and it hit the ground. I heard it CLICK, and I started freaking out (I hate bugs in general). Now I know they're harmless; it just scared me when it made that sound. I've lived in San Jose, CA all my life, and that was the first time I saw one.

I've seen them in Miami Fl when I used to live there, I like to pick them up, they're hurmles, they click & fly & have green lights.

When I was a kid in South Texas, we used to call these "clicker bugs" and play with them. They were cool because they had glowing green eyes. But the ones that are invading my house now in North Texas seem more sinister since they are always landing on me and have mean looking red eyes.
quartermane 2 years ago
I'm from the same area. I'm starting to see more and more of these pesky little bugs. The first time I ever seen one was a few months ago when I was sleeping and one woke me with the clicking noise that it makes. Good thing these things aren't dangerous.

Last night I heard a clicking sound in my room while I was in bed. I turned on the light and saw that bug in my room. When I went by it, it clicked an jumped up like 3 inches! I live in New Jersey and thought no bug like this could be native to this region.

Click beetles are found absolutely everywhere in America, they were one of the most common insects I ever saw in Maryland. Glowing ones are only in a few southern states, though.

I live in Miami florida and we used to have a bunch of these things. Too bad after the hurricane they seemed to leave. But there are still a few, saw one tonight. Though I'm used to a Cuban term/spanish called "Cocuo". Not sure if that's how you spell it, but it's said, Coke-coo-yo.
