Big Eyed Click Beetle. My girl wants to be an Entomologist

My daughter handles another lesson in bugs and nature. She appears apprehensive at first, but soon learns the Big-Eyed Click Beetle is harmless. Nature at it's finest, and being a Christian and creationist, I will teach my daughter that the pseudo-eyes of the Click Beetle are there as a defense mechanism because God made them that way.

It's really called an Alaus Oculatus. I found one recently and researched the internet and found what it was called.

freak that!  i saw one today and skeeved me.never saw anything like it. im a big punk when it comes to insects. im 6'2 300 pounds built like a football player, and i didnt want to get within a foot of it. hate bugs. i want to live somewhere, where no insects crawling on me, or can crawl on me. dont care how harmless. im not worried of bites or danger. just the fact they look so weird and crawling aspect. i rather dissect a human than have bugs crawl on me. lol
