Image of Roundneck Sexton Beetle
Description:
Carrion beetle, maybe 2 cm long. N orbicollis I think. Very similar to N. sayi, but the antennae of N. sayi are orange clubs, whereas N. orbicollis antennae are black with orange tips. Regularly attracted to light. Used Evans' Beetles of North America as a reference (awesome book).
