Sexton beetle ID? - Nicrophorus orbicollis
Portland, Cumberland County, Maine, USA
July 22, 2008
Large beetle noisily flying around black light, at night. Looking at all the sexton pictures, and not having a beetle book, it's hard to know which beetle it is. Can anyone give me a clue on how to tell?

Moved from Sexton Beetles. the orange clubbed antennae along with the more circular posterior spots make this one fairly easy to ID to species
