In my moth trap last night there was one of these very strange beetles, i haven't got a clue what it is - any ideas?
Also, are any other bloggers having trouble moving photos around? I used to be able to drag and drop them, now I can't and now text appears randomly??

Have you changed the justifcation in the upload? i.e left/right/centre/none
Alan, I had it centred, but then the links for the photos (to make them full size) wouldn't work??
Aye, mine do that randomly despite me not doing anything different. I put it down to one of those quantum physic theories about particles spontaneously appearing Mr Benn like then buggering off again.
Ipin. Your beetle is a Nicrophorus sp. One of several similar Sexton Beetles.
Sexton Beetles! when did he get a beetle named after him? That beetle is a bit of a looker so obviously misnamed.
Ipin,
I think it keys out to be Nicrophorus investigator. I hate getting these in the trap - they usually stink and are covered in mites. The big black Nicrophorus humator is the worst.
Before you publish your blog, have a look at the 'Edit HTML' view - often you can see where a carriage return is needed, and you can cut paste the code for the photo.
He heh heh SEXTON Beetle! Dont touch, they stink and have been living on a dead creature recently so god knows what they carry...we used to find them in failed nest boxes...Stewart Sexton...
Thanks for the photo advice, in the latest post I centred the piccie and again, the link doesn't appear?
Skev, the beetle did stink and it was covered in mites - there were three in the trap on Thursday!
Enjoyed your Druridge Pond photos,specially the Greenshank,I managed to snatch a couple of shots,one where hes got a fish in his beak tho I didnt know that at the time.
love all of youre stuff.
