Saw a dead chipmunk on my walk yesterday, and when I walked by the same spot today it was gone but there were a few of these carrion beetles still around. #macrophotography#carrionbeetle#silphidae
Burying beetle, Nicrophorus humator. An exciting family of the carrion beetle (Silphidiae). What can this beetle feel, smell, taste and hear with its sensors on its leg? #carrionbeetle#silphidae#beetle#coleoptera#entomology#emtomologyart#entomologie#entomologia#biodiversität#biodiversity
Middle leg, first tarsus joint of a carrion beetle or „black slug hunter“ like we call it in Germany, Phosphuga atrata. Somehow I have Jurassic Park in my head 🦖 #carrionbeetle#beetle#bug#insect#legday#entomology#carrionbeetles#aaskäfer#schwarzerschneckenjäger#macrophotography
