Aghrrrrr

My usual terrified reaction to anything bee like, however on closer inspection (not that brave as I had my 70-200 lens with me) it was a beetle. Never seen one of these before and having looked it up it is a Common Sexton Bettle.

The common sexton beetle has squarish wing cases that are black with red bands and button-like tips to the antennae. These beetles perform an important service in getting rid of carrion - dead small animals and birds. Males and females cooperate to bury this matter, by digging beneath the bodies to provide a food supply for their larvae.
