This handsome big beetle was found next to the body of a mouse (Peromyscus sp) on the service road. The mouse looked as if it had been hit by something, a bicycle, or the small tractors that come through the garden on the way to the AAFC plant waste dump site, or...? At any rate, this beetle was underneath the mouse but came scuttling out when I stopped. Unlike most of the burying beetles, this one digs a small pit then covers the dead animal with litter.
