Common Sexton Beetle Nicrophorus vespilloides

Not the best vernacular name in my opinion, with it being far from the commonest sexton beetle (at least in my experience) and with the potential for confusion with Common Burying Beetle, another sexton beetle with a similar scientific name too: Nicrophorus vespillo.
