Unknown Spotting ( One Beetle, Being Eaten By Ants )

Description:

Around 4:00 a.m. in the morning, I looked through the left and right front windows. I saw something small and dark, on the left side of the front porch. I then shined my flashlight on this small, dark object. It was an expired beetle, being eaten by ants. Around 5:30 a.m. in the morning, I noticed that the ants, had either pushed or carried this expired beetle, about six inches to the left. At around 3:00 p.m. in the afternoon, this beetle, was totally eaten, by these ants.

Habitat:

I spotted one, expired, small, dark beetle, being eaten by ants, on the left side of the front porch.
