Yes, the American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus) is an invertebrate, specifically a type of beetle belonging to the family Silphidae. As an insect, it has a segmented body, exoskeleton, and lacks a backbone, which classifies it as an invertebrate. This species is known for its unique behavior of burying small vertebrate carcasses to provide food for its larvae.
