AKA American Carrion Beetle, not to be confused with Nicrophorus americanus, the American Burying Beetle that is critically-endangered, once present in Ontario but now restricted to a handful of U.S. states. Love this guy! Makes very short work of any unlucky small mammal that should happen to perish in the woods here in Vermont.
This is a American carrion beetle (Necrophila americana) and I know it very well as I too have seen it many times in Ontario. Hope this answers your question.
