Broad-necked Darkling Beetle

I call this the beetle that walks with its butt up, the book says it walks with its head down.

I don't know of any maps that show where all this Beetle lives.
It's a desert beetle. Approx. 1 inch long.
Eats fungus and organic matter that may be wind blowned.
During the heat of the day it will burrow into the groound or get under any thing that blocks the sun.

This one was photographed in Ash Canyon south of Sirreia Vista, Arizona.
