The eastern eyed click beetle is a species of click beetle.

The "false eyes" are a defensive adaptation that has evolved because of its advantage confusing or frightening potential predators.

The eyespots are a form of self-mimicry, in which one part of the body has adapted to mimic another body part.

Like all click beetles, A. oculatus is also capable of suddenly catapulting itself out of danger by releasing the energy stored by a click mechanism, which consists of a stout spine on the prosternum and a matching groove in the mesosternum.

The adults do not eat much but their diet consists of nectar and plant juice. The larvae diet consists of grubs of wood-boring beetles.
