A faunistic study of the family Elateridae was carried out in Bačka, the north-western
district of Vojvodina Province in Serbia, focusing on their preferred habitats and soil types.
The survey included four locations with a total of 1059 ha, in which 35 species, belonging
to 15 genera of Elateridae, were observed. The frequency of larval and adult forms was
58.94% and 67.40%, respectively, proving that wireworms are regular residents of the area.
Regarding habitat preferences, it was shown that a majority of Elateridae species prefer open
biotopes and wheat crop, while marsh soil, chernozem and alluvium were the preferred soil
types of wireworms.
