| A large burying beetle, with just one Sherwood Forest NNR record dating from 1903, prior to this one which was attracted to MV light at Clipstone Old Quarter in July 2010. Being one of the burying beetles, it's diet is carrion, which it buries in the ground to provide a food source for the young once they hatch. Burying is usually done by both male and female working together, excavating underneath the corpse and covering it with the resulting soil as they go. | ||
