Garden Carrion Beetle (Heterosilpha ramose): Unlike many other carrion beetles, which are rarely found far from an animal carcass, the garden carrion beetle will also eat decaying vegetation. They are common in western North America and can often be found on lawns. Adults are attracted to lights at night. Photo by Heather Minopolis on 5/12/18 in Missoula, MT.
