American Burying Beetle Mural

The Endangered Species Mural project in Tulsa, by artist Roger Peet, features the American burying beetle. These unique insects are efficient recyclers, known for burying small animal carcasses to feed their larvae. Once common, they are now rare. The Center for Biological Diversity works to prevent their extinction. Learn more about American burying beetles here and the Mural Project here.
