Blackish Brown Beetle - Dog-face on back Amherstburg, Essex, Ontario, Canada August 14, 2018 Size: Approx. 1/2 inch long
This beetle was found in a rural area of Southwestern Ontario, on a daisy flower. When I went back to take another look at it, I saw that it was eating another insect, possibly a spider, who's legs are visible at the right. It has a rounded shield-shaped body with distinctive markings, of which the upper ones resemble the face of a dog.
