The American carrion beetle is a black-bodied, yellow-headed insect.
Specifically, the insect in question carries the scientific name Necrophila americana. The beetle holds its common name in recognition of its geographical distribution east of the Rocky Mountains in the United States of America and of its feeding upon fly larvae, fungi, raw (especially dead) animal flesh. It is recognizable by a black body, at the top of which is a yellow head (of which the middle can be black-spotted) and at the bottom of which is a black or yellow tail.
