These are the true "burying" beetles, and derive the name from their habit of excavating beneath small dead animals and gradually sinking them below the surface level. Then the females lay their eggs in and the larvae live upon the buried and decaying creatures. The other carrion beetles make no pretence of burying their prey, but lay their eggs at once, and the larvae feed upon it from below, usually making a short burrow in the soil for shelter, though this is not universal.
