Nicrophorus with Poecilochirus mites - Nicrophorus

I found the genus while looking or an image of another beetle and realized that I had photographed a very similar beetle also covered with mites.

Welcome to bugguide, Stephen.
The beetle is a Nicrophorus carrion beetle. The classification above your image refers to the mites.
