Wonderful portrait
Great image, especially since it is not covered in slime on a carcass:-) Thanks for sharing your images here!

American Carrion beetle
He was in his 'Sunday-go-to-meeting' outfit. I am wayyyyyy behind on identifying my insect pictures & will try to post a new one each day for a while. Thanks for the ID.
