beetle with a bee mimic coloring and can bend its"head" down 90 degrees! little smaller than a dime (1/2")
I looked up this beetle and it is an American Carrion Beetle Necrophila americana
A lily-looking plant with flowers that hang down under the leaves at Rockwood Park in May 2015. I think it's Polygonatum sp., either Smooth Solomon's Seal or Hairy Solomon's Seal.
