Brown things
Anderson County, Texas, USA
Ignore the date, this has been in the freezer.
I can’t remember what the little brown things on beetles are called. If you could refresh my memory of these little brown pests, thank you.
Also, I need a way to remove them. They are dead from being in the freezer and they hardly scrape off.

beetle is Nicrophorus sp; mites are Poecilochirus sp
They are associated with the beetle and actually help by killing off fly maggots that might compete with the beetle's larvae
