Hide beetle (Trox sp.)

At home

This beetle came to the moth lights last year. According to Bug Guide, these beetles (which are found world wide) are often found "on carrion at late stages of decomposition, on owl pellets, in bird & mammal nests, on carnivore scat containing hair/bones; more common in drier regions."
