thanks Dan....though I wish he wouldn't have had that gravel on his back :(

lol...yes, Joseph :) But that shape made me able to identify him...i knew it's the shape of many burying beetles - although the Golden is from the family of ground beetles, he also eats carrion (like the burying).

The Giro bike helmet stole their idea from this beetle.
