Necrophila americana
A black and yellow beetle that was seen with two others on the elegant stinkhorn I posted earlier. It was less than an inch long and couldn't fly, just crawling around the rotting leaves. It had a little black square in the middle of its yellow markings.
Woodlands
Apparently, it lays its eggs on the inside of dead, rotting animals and in fungi. Creepy.
keith, thanks a bunch for the ID. I'll update it as soon as my computer starts cooperating
