TAGÜINCHE The click beetle (Pyrophorus noctiluca), is an elaterid of the order of beetles that inhabits the tropical regions of America. It stands out for its bioluminescence produced by two points near the pronotum and another in the lower central part. Unlike fireflies, the tagüinche emits a constant even light that increases in intensity if touched. His other curiosity is that when he is on his back he can turn around thanks to a spring that he has in the ventral part of the chest and that he can activate. For this reason in English it is known as click beetle, or click beetle. Some synonyms, words or similar expressions can be cocuy, cocuyo, tagüinche, tucu tucu, click beetle, beetle click, achon 40, in nicaragua 41, , anthrax 40 , costa rica 41 , , copechi 40 , sinaloa and sonora 41 ,
