Limobius

Limobius is a genus of click beetles (family Elateridae). These beetles are found primarily in North America. Members of this genus are typically small and brown or reddish-brown in color.

Limobius beetles are known for their larval stage, often referred to as wireworms. Wireworms are agricultural pests, feeding on the roots of various crops including potatoes, grains, and other vegetables. This root feeding can cause significant damage to crops, resulting in economic losses for farmers.

Identification of specific Limobius species can be challenging, often requiring examination of detailed morphological characteristics. Control measures for Limobius wireworms include soil treatments and crop rotation strategies.
