Weird beetles 0095 (V41)

American Carrion beetles feeding on a mushroom.
Thanks to Harald Schillhammer for the ID.

Shot with my 70-200 VR plus Canon 500D closeup lens.

This lens combo gives surprisingly sharp, saturated macros for a large, complex zoom with a closeup attachment.

Nikon D1x ,Nikkor 70-200mm f/2.8G ED-IF AF-S VR
1/500s f/16.0 at 86.0mm iso125 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto

That's a nasty group of beetles. To them, it's either a lovefest or a trip to a nice restaurant.
