I found this beautiful scarab turned over, unfortunately dead in my garden. I couldn't help but take her photo before I buried her. I believe she is a rainbow scarab. Wanted to be sure.

Small Scarab. Perhaps a dung beetle? Too tired tonight to get any deeper than that on identifications. Picked up while sweeping for insects at one of the 200 acre MAGLEV trainyard sites being proposed for my USFWS Patuxent and USDA BARC research sites.

We Are Made One with What We Touch and See

We are resolved into the supreme air,
We are made one with what we touch and see,
With our heart's blood each crimson sun is fair,

With our young lives each spring impassioned tree

Flames into green, the wildest beasts that range
The moor our kinsmen are, all life is one, and all is change.
