1. wireworm

   Wireworms are the larvae of click beetles. This term usually applies to about 60 species and they are considered pests, as they pose a serious threat to a variety of agricultural crops due to their habit of burrowing into plant roots and stems. These larvae have hard, elongated, slender, and cylindrical bodies that resemble a piece of wire, which is how they get their common name, wireworm.
