We took this video of a carrion beetle (Nicrophorus tomentosus) in the process of moving a dead shrew (masked shrew?) at Clear Creek back in the beginning of August. We’d never seen one doing this before so we stayed and watched it for a while. We had read that they get underneath the carcass on their backs and move it with their legs but could never quite picture how that worked until we saw one in action. https://youtube/watch?v=qs6pAznzImk&feature=youtu.be
