Escarabajo Enterrador de Panza Amarilla (Nicrophorus guttula)Observ.
zee_zDescripción
Not N. defodiens, N. nigrita, or N. vespilloides.
- Cordate pronotum
- Orange antennal club
- Long basal procoxa hair (img 23-24)
- Dense metasternum pubescence(?)
- img 25-26 no bald spots behind meoscoxa (excludes N. hybridus)
- Pubescent metepimeron (img 29-30)
- Straight hind tibia (last 2 images)
I believe this is N. guttula based on the mix of a hairy metasternum and metepimeron, long basal procoxa hairs, straight hind tibia, and the elytra pattern.

From my culture of this species. The culture was started last year from locally wild-caught individuals from this area.
I just discovered that they bioluminesce when disturbed! It's very very faint. I took them into a dark closet and blew on them. I couldn't see any glow when looking directly in the culture, but if I looked slightly away I could see the glow with my peripheral vision.

Found wandering around in my garage, this isn’t a male (female/juvenile) so I’m not sure why? I had it in a temporary enclosure until the sun came up so I could secure better pictures, here’s a long video of it walking and making a temporary burrow:

Dead bird found wedged into a part of our roof, 2 skulls, 2 wings, 1 ribcage, and a lot of feathers and miscellaneous bones. All of the insects found with it have their separate observations, but are included in this one incase they can help with the ID or decomposition timeline. I believe this bird (or birds) got into this part of the roof through a panel warped open, and became trapped, although I’m not sure why there are missing body parts and extra body parts, if anyone could offer an explanation it would be appreciated.
