Silphidae

My 5 kopecks
Necrodes littoralis (Linnaeus, 1758) = asiaticus Portevin, 1922
Primorye, Khasansky district, Andreevka village, 19-29. 07. 2006
Special thanks to Morozzz for the material.

Trans-palearctic species, found everywhere except in the North. I've always come across relatively large carrion (ranging from magpie-sized birds), also often flying towards the light.

The thing probably has a name? Please place undefined species first in the "Definition of Beetles"
