| | | Unidentified Beetle.
Found this Beetle upside down, struggling on the beach in Devon. We quickly rescued it and moved it to a safer location. I think it's some kind of dung Beetle but other than that I don't have a clue. It was very gentle and slow moving. Can anyone identify it please, thanks.

It's a bloody nosed beetle. Did it squirt some reddy liquid on your hand when you picked it up? |
