One section of the threat IJeeile family devotes its energies to tlie decent interment of any small animals found dead
in field or woodland. Soon after one has fallen, these little Sexton-beetles tjet scent of the occurrence, and come
flyinf,' to the spot. They walk all over and around the body, as though fonninn an estimate of the amount of labour
involved in its burial. Then they get below it, and by shovelling; the earth with their heads and pushinti it away with
their legs, let the corpse sink in to a depth of two or three inches below the surface. Eggs are laid on the body
and the sirave is filled in. The ijrnbs that hatch out from the etj^s rapidly consume the flesh.

The European goldfinch or goldfinch (Carduelis carduelis), is a small passerine bird in the finch family that is native to Europe, North Africa and western Asia. It has been introduced to other areas including Australia, New Zealand and Uruguay.
The common sexton beetle (Nicrophorus vespilloides) is a burying beetle described by Johann Friedrich Wilhelm Herbst in 1783. Besides the many interesting behaviors this beetle exhibits, it is of interest because in North America it is restricted to Sphagnum bogs and marshes, whereas in Europe and throughout the Palearctic it is found in open forest habitats. |
