Hello from Portugal, Coimbra. I also echo Lisa's words about this
fantastic group.
It's a click beetle (Elateridae). I've already found some in the museum
where I work.
According to Wiki: 'Adults are typically nocturnal and phytophagous, but
only a few are of economic importance. On warm nights they can enter
houses, but they are not pests. The beetle larvae, called wireworms, are
generally saprophagous, living on dead organisms, but some species are
serious agricultural pests and others are active predators of other
insect larvae.'
I hope I've helped.
Best regards,
Cristina

Hello from Australia :) I love this pest list and the generous help
given by the community - I learn a lot, to.
We found this fellow in a sticky trap near a door to storage area, and
having trouble identifying it as many distinguishing features are
hidden.
In other traps around this building, we have been finding a few types
of minute scavenger beetles (esp. _dienerella filum_), but this one
doesn't have the same cinched in 'waist' that they have.
Thanks for any clues. Best wishes Lisa
