Roundneck Sexton Beetle (Nicrophorus orbicollis)? - Nicrophorus orbicollis
Hutchinson, McCloud County, Minnesota, USA
June 8, 2017
Size: 1 inch +
Found this one at night on the lighted screen of the ladies bathroom widow where I was spending the week. Propriety didn't allow me to photograph it there, so I causght it and photographed it on my hand. I think this is probably a Roundneck Sexton Beetle (Nicrophorus orbicollis), but there seems to be similar ones, so I figured I ought to check.
