Agriotes sp., known as the wireworm, is a genus of beetles whose larvae are important agricultural pests. Adults, known as click beetles, lay their eggs in the soil during spring and summer. The eggs hatch in approximately 2 to 4 weeks, giving rise to larvae that develop in the soil. These larvae, with an elongated and hard body, spend several years in the soil, feeding on roots and other organic materials. Throughout their development, the larvae molt several times before reaching maturity. Once they complete their larval development, they pupate in the soil, emerging as adults after a few weeks. Adults can live for several weeks, during which time they look for mates and reproduce, restarting the cycle. The larvae can cause significant damage to plants by feeding on their roots, affecting the absorption of water and nutrients and, consequently, the overall health of the plants.
