Nicrophorus Beetle arises from fallen fungus - closeup
Closeup of a beetle that arises from a rotten fungus that I knocked over. In dutch they are called "Dead Burrier", for their strange mating and reproduction behavior where they attract mates by the corpse of a mouse or other small mammal, then bury the corpse, mate, lay the eggs in a tunnel close to the corpse.
