Nicrophorus orbicollis odor

Can someone ID this comma? It doesn't fit all the descriptions for Eastern Comma but that's the closest I can come. I believe these are all the same individual. Elinor Elinor Osborn Photography PO Box 86 1286 Lost Nation Rd Craftsbury Common VT 05827 802 586-9994 eli...@pshift.com [link]... more »
