American Burying Beetle Sticker

Bring one of North America’s most fascinating insects to your gear with this American burying beetle sticker, inspired by a rare carrion beetle with a bold black-and-orange pattern. The American burying beetle (Nicrophorus americanus) is the largest carrion beetle in North America, known for its glossy body, orange markings, and important role in helping recycle nutrients back into the soil.

This beetle has one of the more unusual family stories in the insect world: adults locate and bury small animal carcasses, preparing them as food for their young. Once listed as endangered and now federally listed as threatened in the United States, the American burying beetle is a reminder that even the smallest and strangest wild things have a place in healthy ecosystems — perfect for laptops, water bottles, notebooks, coolers, field journals, nature clubs, bug lovers, sticker collections, and even your car.
