Image of Tomentose Burying Beetle
Description:
Watched this beetle repeatedly walk around, beneath, and over this dead critter. It would not stay still for a decent picture. I'm pretty sure this is the Tomentose Burying Beetle; that yellow-ish pronotum stood out, but other opinions are welcome. First time I've ever seen this species.
