Excellent find and capture here Raj, superb work !!! Im very temped to tell you something about this bug but it might spoil your appetite LOL ;o) What the heck, why not ? Here it is: This is a Sexton beetle, also called burrying beetles, the scientific name is Necrophorus interruptus. Named after their grave-digging habits, the sexton beetles bury dead animals to provide food for their young. They locate these animals by scent using their strangely-shaped antennae, and excavate beneath the carcase until its underground. Once the animal is buried, the female lays her eggs near the carcase. During their early days the larvae are fed by the female with regurgitated meat from the carcase. Later they are able to feed themselves. After consuming the carcase, and completing their three metamorphoses, the larvae pupate under it or nearby. N. interruptus is about 18-22 mm long. :oP
