Hi Gator. I found something for you. The Aphodius lividus is quite similar to your Scarab beetle, but yours have black head and antenna. Perhaps this helps someone who knows more to ID it properly. Here is a link http://www.opsu.edu/Academics/SciMathNurs/NaturalScience/PlantsInsectsOfGoodwell/coleoptera/scarabaeidae/default.html The Aphodius lividus is the 4th picture from the top. Best regards
