Quite a colorful character. Although I don't know him personally, I have known people who must have been related to him. :)

EDIT: Google never disappoints. "Best guess for this image: insect

I can't find this guy anywhere. He doesn't even shop up on the Purdue University entomology site.

I found him. He's a Tomentose Burying Beetle. Nicroporus tomentosus.

Nice capture. Some burying beetles may be endangered species, don't know which. Looks like this one has been parasitized. They often carry many phoretic mites as well, catching a ride to their next meal.
