Okay, we're back in Bug of the Week action now! Here's your mystery insect to identify, if you so choose. If you think you've identified this insect, post your answer in a comment. You can also check the forum for a few hints. Come back next Wednesday to see your name in lights if you answered correctly, and to get another challenge.

Growing up we called them Bessy bugs(tho they are beetles) but they are officially called Odontotaenius disjunctus – Horned Passalus. A fun find any time they are found in a rotten log.
I agree. It’s a patent leather beetle.
