Horned Passalus Beetle? - Odontotaenius disjunctus - Bullitt County, Kentucky, USA October 28, 2020
Horned Passalus Beetle? There was a group of 4 of these (possibly more but Beatles hang out in groups of 4?) in a decaying downed tree that I was cutting for firewood. I know these by the name of Patent Leather Beetles. They were about 6 inches deep in the wood possibly following an old chain-saw cut that had introduced some decay and fungus.
