the american carrion beetle ( necrophila americana , formerly silpha americana ) is a north american beetle of the family silphidae .

it lays its eggs in , and its larvae consume , raw flesh ( particularly that of dead animals ) and fungi .

the larvae and adults also consume fly larvae and the larvae of other carrion beetles that compete for the same food sources as its larvae .

nicrophorus americanus , also known as the american burying beetle or giant carrion beetle , is a critically endangered species of beetle endemic to north america . it belongs to the order coleoptera and the family silphidae . the carrion beetle in north america is carnivorous , feeds on carrion and requires carrion to breed . it is also one of the few species of beetle to exhibit parental care . the decline of the american burying beetle has been attributed to habitat loss , alteration , and degradation , and they now occur over less than 10 % of their historic range .
american burying beetles are the largest carrion - feeding insects in north america , growing up to 35 mm in length . most carrion beetles of the genus
unless you’re in the habit of examining carcasses , you may never come across a carrion beetle .
the american burying beetle is endangered statewide and nationally . restoration efforts are under way . this brightly patterned beetle specializes in cleaning carrion from the landscape , burying dead mice , birds , and other creatures .
the mites get rid of maggots and their eggs so there is more food for the carrion beetle .
american burying beetles are scavengers , attracted to decaying vegetation and carrion . adults feed on a wide range of species as carrion . they also consume live insects .

your carrion beetle must not exceed a certain size , or must be placed beneath the seat in front of you .
the american burying beetle is a carrion - feeding beetle of the family silphidae . the species is distinct and there are no proposed subspecies or species forms . it is one of the most striking beetle species in canada due to its large size and the brilliant orange markings on its otherwise black body .
habitat : considering the broad geographic range formerly occupied by the american burying beetle , it is unlikely that vegetation or soil type were historically limiting . today , the american burying beetle seems to be largely restricted to areas most undisturbed by human influence .
management research needs : identification and management information on the optimum carrion - producing vertebrates for the american burying beetle is needed . research on optimum carrion availability will provide information that is necessary for sampling , management and reintroduction efforts . population modeling information is needed .
status : the american burying beetle was listed as an endangered species in 1989 ( federal register 54 : 29652 - 29655 ) .
mites are known to frequently attach themselves to the american carrion beetle as it moves from one dead carcass to another . at each stop along the way , the mites drop from the beetle to also feed on the dead flesh . therefore , from a pest control standpoint , this type of beetle poses a dual challenge .

we captured it for later identification , and amanda ran it down . this is a carrion beetle . there are several species of carrion beetles , all in the family silphidae . there are over 20 , 000 species of beetle in north america . beetles are incredibly diverse . therefore , it did not surprise me to learn that there are several dozen species of carrion beetle in minnesota . this is probably in the genus
in the 1980s , entomologists documented the decreasing abundance of the american burying beetle across its range . collecting records indicate that east of the appalachian mountains the american burying beetle declined in a generally north to south direction , and the decline was well underway , if not complete , by 1923 .
common names : american carrion beetle - named for its primary carrion food source . american emphasizes that it is endemic to north america east of the rocky mountains . carrion comes from the latin word caro meaning flesh . burying beetle – a carrion - eating beetle so named because it buries the animal carcass for longer term consumption . scientific names : necrophila americana - the generic name if from the greek nekros , meaning
dead body
and philos , meaning
loving
in reference to its primary food source . the species name is a latinized form to reflect its american provenance . nicrophorus carolinus – the burying beetle genus is also a derivative of nekros as above with the addition of the greek phoros meaning ‘to carry . ’ the species name is reference to its first identification in the carolinas .
carrion beetles and maggots eat they same thing , so they compete with each other for food . but carrion beetles have a secret weapon they use to get rid of some of the maggots and get more food for themselves . carrion beetles carry tiny little mites on their backs . the mites travel with the beetle to a dead carcass , where they eat the eggs of maggots and the smallest maggots , creating more space and food for carrion beetles . some scientists think that the mites take care of carrion beetles by cleaning off bacteria the the beetle picks up from living on dead animals . below is a picture of a carrion beetle with mites on its back .
the carrion beetle pays a huge cost carrying the mites around wherever it goes , because they are heavy and affect its ability to move and fly . but otherwise , the mites do nothing … . they just hang on for the ride , waiting for the beetle to locate a dead mouse . then , when the beetle does located a dead mouse , the mites do not eat it . rather , they eat the maggots , the fly eggs , and larva of anything that is not a carrion beetle . they clean the carcass of the potential competitors of the carrion beetle’s larva .
as scavengers , american burying beetles play an important role in recycling decaying materials .

the adults’ voracious appetite for maggots certainly helps eliminate competition for their offspring . the carrion beetle larvae feed on the carcass , which would quickly be devoured by maggots without the intervention of the adult silphids . a few carrion beetle species feed on plants , or even more rarely , prey on snails or caterpillars .
the beetles themselves are black with a yellow shoulder area , although the coloring varies to a degree from northern to southern areas . the beetles can resemble bumble bees when they are in flight . by contrast , the larger american burying beetle features shiny black and orange - red coloration . also , the burying beetle is about 1 . 0 to 1 . 4 - in long , while the smaller american carrion beetle is 0 . 5 to 0 . 9 - in long .
populations of american burying beetles have been extirpated from 90 % of their original range .
the american burying beetle is the largest carrion beetle in north america ( 2 ) . it has extremely distinctive colouration , being shiny black with bright orange markings ; there are four orange bands on the wing cases ( known as ' elytra ' ) , but unusually the pronotum and face also have orange markings ( 2 ) .

the american burying beetle is the largest carrion - frequenting insect in north america ; it may reach a length of l l / 2 inches . like many other carrion beetles in the genus nicrophorus , it is shiny black and distinctively marked with two bright orange bands on each wing cover . unlike any other species , however , the pronotum ( the shield - like area just behind the head ) of the american burying beetle is also orange , and there is a small orange patch on the face between the eyes . while nebraska has 11 species of nicrophorus , only the american burying beetle has the orange pronotum , and it can be readily distinguished from the other , more common species .
specific habitat preference of american burying beetles is unknown . like many endangered species , this species seems largely confined to areas with the least human influence . american burying beetles thrive in areas with an abundance of carrion and have been found in grasslands , scrublands and forest edges .

carrion beetles and individuals of some species of mites can have a symbiotic relationship . each derives a benefit from the other . the mites climb aboard the carrion beetle to be transported to new food supplies they could never reach by foot . the mites in turn eat the eggs and freshly hatched maggots of flies that compete with beetle larvae for the food source . therefore , a mite - laden beetle is more likely to have offspring that survive .

the american burying beetle , ( nicrophorus americanus ) oliver is a member of the carrion beetle family silphidae . carrion beetles , as their name implies , are an important part of a vast host of scavengers that are responsible for recycling decaying materials back into the ecosystem . they are also referred to as burying beetles or sexton beetles . there are 570 species of silphids found worldwide , and 31 of them occur in north america . there are 18 species in nebraska .

historical records offer little insight into what type of habitat was preferred by the american burying beetle . current information suggests that this species is a habitat generalist , or one that lives in many types of habitat , with a slight preference for grasslands and open understory oak hickory forests . however , the beetles are carrion specialists in that they need carrion the size of a dove or a chipmunk in order to reproduce . carrion availability may be the greatest factor determining where the species can survive .
a scene from stephen king ' s latest novel ? not at all . the creatures are carrion beetles , also commonly known as burying beetles , and they are on of nature ' s most efficient and fascinating recyclers . but , like several other insect species , these beetles are nearing extinction . the american burying beetle , the largest of the north american carrion beetles , has so drastically declined in numbers and range that , in july 1989 , it was added to the federal endangered species list .
biologists have not unlocked the mystery why the american burying beetle has disappeared from so many areas . widespread use of pesticides may have caused local populations to disappear . the dramatic disappearance of this insect from many areas , however , took place before widespread use of ddt . lack of small carcasses to bury would prevent the species from reproducing , and changes in land use has reduced the quantity of small - to medium - sized birds and mammals preferred by the american burying beetle . even the extinction of the once ubiquitous passenger pigeon may have had a ripple effect on carrion feeders like this beetle .

as i learnt just two days ago ( from a carrion beetle that was also crawling with mites ) , they don’t just eat dead mice and such but are also very fond of cat food .
the american burying beetle has been recorded historically from at least 150 counties in 35 states in the eastern and central united states , as well as along the southern fringes of ontario , quebec and nova scotia in canada . collecting records indicate that east of the appalachian mountains the american burying beetle declined in a generally north to south direction , and the decline was well underway , if not complete . by 1923 .
carrion beetles come in many sizes . some are very small while others can get as big as 1 . 4 inches ( or about 35 mm ) . the average size of a carrion beetle is 1 / 2 inch . they have flat , flexible bodies that allow them to crawl under dead animals .
the earliest record for the american burying beetle in nebraska is 1921 , although it undoubtedly occurred here before that time . they were again collected in 1957 and have been sporadically recorded since that time . the westernmost north american record for the american burying beetle is near north platte , nebraska . the most recent sightings ( 1992 - 1997 ) are from lincoln , dawson and cherry counties . the available information suggests that this species occurs rarely and locally , primarily in undisturbed areas in the eastern two - thirds of the state .

about an inch and a half long , the american burying beetle can be identified by its striking , distinctive coloring . the body is shiny black , and on its wing covers are four scalloped , orange - red markings . most distinctively , there is an orange - red marking on the beetle ' s pronotum , a large shield - like area just behind the head . the american burying beetle has orange facial markings and orange tips on the antennae . the beetles are strong fliers , moving as far as a kilometer in one night .
the american burying beetle is protected under the federal species at risk act ( sara ) . more information about sara , including how it protects individual species , is available in the species at risk act : a guide .

the american carrion beetle is also known by its scientific name , necrophilia americana . it gets its name from the prominent role that the flesh of dead animals plays in its existence . for example , it lays its eggs in or around carrion , and the larvae that emerge then feed on the animal remains . the beetles are also known to feed on fungi and rotting fruit . this article will discuss where these beetles live , what they look like and their life cycle .
the decline of the american burying beetle is probably the result of an interplay of several complex factors that include ( 1 ) artificial lighting that decreases populations of insects active at night , ( 2 ) changing sources of carrion because of habitat alteration , ( 3 ) isolation of preferred habitat because of land use changes , ( 4 ) increased edge effect harboring more vertebrate competitors for carrion and ( 5 ) the possibility of reduced reproduction because of some genetic characteristic of the species .
considering the broad geographic range formerly occupied by the american burying beetle , it is unlikely that vegetation or soil type were historically limiting . today , the american burying beetle seems to be largely restricted to areas most undisturbed by human influence . in nebraska , the sandhills is just such an area , and it is there that the beetles have been recently rediscovered . gothenburg , brady , north platte and the valentine national wildlife refuge are all locales in which beetles are now found .

the larvae spend about a week feeding off the carcass then crawl into the soil to pupate , or develop . mature american burying beetles emerge from the soil 45 to 60 days after their parents initially bury the carcass . adult american burying beetles live for only 12 months .
some species will fly to porch lights on summer evenings , so you may get lucky and find one on your front door . while we might find the carrion beetle’s diet rather distasteful , these scavengers provide a vital ecological service - disposing of carcasses .

in the ecological sense , carrion beetles don ' t like flies , mostly because fly maggots compete directly with beetle larvae . as a way to diminish competition , adult carrion beetles begin consuming maggots as soon as the fly larvae hatch . this allows a window of opportunity in which carrion beetles can mate and lay their own eggs before fly maggots have consumed the carcass completely . unfortunately for the beetles , flies just keep on coming and laying eggs , so it ' s almost impossible to eat all the maggots that result . it would be great for carrion beetles if they had assistance in keeping flies at bay and , in fact , they do !

carrion beetles face a special problem that we see here and there in the world of animals , and when it occurs there is often an interesting adaptive result . ( this is how we know adaptation is a real thing and the diversity we see in nature is often the result of adaptatoin . ) carrion beetles lay their eggs in or on the body of dead mammals or birds . but dead mammals and birds are somewhat rare , especially the relatively undisturbed ones , the ones that are not about to be digested by something . therefore , a carrion beetle that has a trait that maximizes the use of this rare resource will have a selective advantage over carrion beetles that don’t .
american burying beetles have been lost from the majority of their former range ; populations in the east had largely disappeared by the 1920s , whilst the decline in the american midwest was well documented in the 1980s ( 2 ) . one of the major causes of this decline in abundance is the fragmentation of available habitat ; leading to changes in the availability of carrion , increased competition , and the isolation of remaining popualtions ( 2 ) .

carrion beetles are a family of beetles that feed on the bodies of dead and decaying animals . when an animal dies in the woods , it immediately begins to decompose or rot . carrion beetles eat the rotting flesh of dead animals so they are a very important kind of beneficial bug called
decomposers
. if you remember the meaning of two different words , you will remember why this beetle is a beneficial bug .
carrion beetles have many different weapons that they use to protect themselves against attack by other predators . their defense systems also allow them to live comfortably and grow in different kinds of environments . many carrion beetles blend into their environment and can not be seen easily because they are dark black and brown in color . however , there are other carrion beetles that have bright colors like orange , yellow or red . this bright coloring warns predators to keep away . animals with bright colors can be poisonous , so the bright colors of some carrion beetles make predators think they are poisonous .
a matter of taste – the natural history of carrion beetles , by brett c . ratcliffe , curator of insects , university of nebraska state museum
american carrion beetles are found in most areas of the united states that are east of the rocky mountains . they more commonly reside in moist environments , and they will be more active on warmer days . as the beetles fly about , their sense of smell alerts them to the presence of dead animals .
carrion beetles are found all over the world . there are 46 different kinds in north america , many of which are found in the united states .
preserve selection and design considerations : preserves must contain a continued abundance of food sources for these beetles . carrion must be between 50 and 200 grams .
in 1983 the american burying beetle was included as an endangered species in the invertebrate red book published by the intemational union for the conservation of nature . in the united states , it was proposed as an endangered species in 1988 and was placed on the state and federal endangered species lists in august 1989
specifically it is the largest native species , american burying beetle ( nicrophorus americanus ) , that is now extirpated throughout most of eastern north america . they prefer chipmunk - sized carcasses , and the elimination of passenger pigeons as an abundant food source is one of several hypotheses proposed to explain their decline .
american burying beetles were listed as an endangered species by u . s . fish and wildlife service in 1989 . they are currently considered critically endangered by the iucn and are likely extirpated from michigan . habitat fragmentation and habitat loss are largely held responsible for the decline of this species . habitat fragmentation and deforestation has reduced populations of species that become carrion in which this species broods . increased competition with other scavengers has also contributed to the population decline of american burying beetles .
american burying beetles are scavengers . adults hunt for decaying carcasses , which are either used as a source of food or are buried for future use by larvae .
much has been done to understand the life history of the american burying beetle and promote its recovery . a recovery plan was prepared by the u . s . fish and wildlife service . the plight of the american burying beetle was publicized . factors responsible for the decline were investigated . information was solicited on all collection records . studies of reproductive ecology and population status were conducted . surveys of historical collection localities were carried out . captive breeding populations were established . captive - raised beetles were reintroduced to a historic site at penikese island , massachusetts . the population there is being monitored and added to as necessary .
the family silphidae is a fairly small beetle group , with just 175 species known worldwide . of these , about 30 species inhabit north america .
management requirements : because the american burying beetle has a highly vulnerable status in the wild , the two known natural populations ( block island , rhode island and eastern oklahoma ) should be protected and maintained . another requirement is maintaining captive populations for reintroducing the beetle to its historical habitat . maintaining proper habitat ( mature forests ) , and enhancing new habitat is very important . enhancing new habitat and open fields can be done by mowing , grazing and burning .
american burying beetles typical live 1 year . newly emerged adults remain in the soil during the winter season and mate in the summer . adults die after raising their offspring .

nature is so valuable to the prospective parents that they bury it to keep it from being stolen .
other theories for the decline exist . ddt was unlikely responsible , for the decline had occurred 25 years before ddt was used . a species specific disease is unlikely , though not impossible . populations of other carrion beetle species have remained largely intact . american burying beetles appear to have broad habitat tolerances , so direct habitat loss was unlikely responsible initially . once populations of burying beetles become isolated , though , habitat loss can become an important factor . movements between habitats occurs less frequently . genetic variation suffers . interspecific competition at the genus level also comes into play once a species is geographically isolated .
historical records show that this beetle once lived in 35 states , the district of columbia , and three canadian provinces . now , natural populations are known to occur in only four states : rhode island , oklahoma , arkansas , and nebraska . biologists are not sure what led to the disappearance of this insect from so many areas and are attempting to determine the reasons for its decline . as part of this ongoing research , and in an attempt to establish another beetle population , biologists have released laboratory - raised american burying beetles on penikese island in massachusetts , historical habitat of the animal .
several groups of beetles eat carrion . those in the carrion beetle family are flattened , usually black , often with markings of red , orange , or yellow . the shell - like forewings ( elytra ) have a distinctive shape , wider toward the end of the body and narrower toward the front . in many species , the elytra are too short to cover the final 1 to 3 segments of the abdomen tip . the antennae are distinctively clubbed , often with minute hairs or colors at the very tip . these beetles often secrete or spray foul - smelling substances , or just plain smell bad themselves .
the bright bands of red or orange on the wings of many carrion beetles warn potential predators that they won’t make a very delicious meal , so don’t bother tasting them . there’s something to be said for the old adage “you are what you eat . ” carrion beetles , after all , feed on rotting flesh , and all the bacteria that goes along with it . silphids apparently taste and smell like death .
the famous entomologist j . henri fabre wrote that carrion beetles make “a clearance of death on behalf of life . ” when we overcome our revulsion , we , too , can appreciate these interesting little grave diggers .
the emerging beetle larvae will feed on both the raw flesh and the other larvae within it . the adult beetles will often consume other feeding insects to eliminate competition for food . this makes it easier for the beetle larvae to adequately feed and survive . the larvae eventually burrow into the surrounding soil where they spend the winter . they emerge from their pupal stage the next spring , and they mature into adult beetles .
my favorite spotting of one of these beetles was floating in a swimming pool . the beetle was not moving anymore and the mites were huddled away from the slowly encroaching water . it was “titanic” in miniature .

in addition to the known populations in rhode island and oklahoma , american burying beetles were collected in ontario , kentucky , arkansas , missouri and nebraska as late as 1970 . if the species still exists in these areas , it is very localized .
the specific habitat requirements of this species are not fully understood and it appears that the availability of carrion may be the limiting factor . in nebraska , beetles have been observed in grassland prairie , scrubland and forest edges ( 2 ) .

mimicry of bumble bees and cuckoo bumble bees by carrion beetles ( coleoptera : silphidae ) .
journal of the kansas entomological society 59 . 1 ( 1986 ) : 20 - 25 .
though carrion beetles as a family range in size from just a few millimeters to as long as 35 mm , most species we commonly encounter top 10 mm in length . silphids have clubbed antennae , and tarsi ( feet ) with 5 joints .
carrion beetles also have chemical defenses . they secrete a strong , smelly odor that irritates other bugs and small animals . they can even spray the odor at predators to keep them away . they move the end of their abdomen around and spray in all directions .
the larvae spend about a week feeding off the carcass then crawl into the soil to pupate , or develop . mature n . americanus beetles emerge from the soil 45 to 60 days after their parents initially bury the carcass . adult american burying beetles live for only 12 months .
rotting vegetation and dead animals may not sound good to you , but this insect finds it all pretty tasty . nature ' s leftovers are its bread and butter ! this distinctive beetle is found on a variety of dead animals including mammals , fishes , snakes and frogs . breaking down all of this garbage into useful soil nutrients is a dirty job , but carrion beetles are good at it . their life cycle is so well known that forensic investigators use them to investigate the time of death of human remains .

. . . carrion is rather ephemeral and unpredictable food source therefore species have to be able to locate it quickly and at the right moment ( dekeirsschieter et al . , 2011 ) . this is crucial especially in severe competition of other necrophagous species . . . .
after burial , the beetles strip away fur or feathers and work the mass into a compact ball . they will then
inoculate
the remains with secretions that preserve the carrion and modify the course of decomposition . the female constructs a short chamber above the carrion in which she lays from 10 to 30 eggs . returning to the carcass , she prepares a conical depression on top of it . both parents regurgitate droplets of partly digested food into the depression . the fluid accumulates as food for the larvae that hatch in a few days .
. . . one domain is that of forensic entomology , applying the study of insects and other arthropods to criminal investigation . so far , only recently more extensive research on forensic application of beetle data has started ( dekeirsschieter et al . , 2011b ; matuszewski , 2012 , matuszewski et al . , 2008matuszewski & szafałowicz , 2013 ) . carrion ( whether human or animal ) is often referred to as a functional ecosystem ( barton et al . , 2013 ; villet , 2011 ; colijn , 2014 ) . . . .
carrion beetles and other decomposers are important because they get rid of dead matter by eating it and breaking it down into smaller pieces that can be placed back into the ecosystem . the small pieces of dead animals become nutrients that other animals and plants can feed on . some kinds of carrion beetles actually bury small animal carcasses so that they can lay their eggs on it ( the eggs will be safer under the ground ) . when carcasses are buried , they decompose faster and don ' t smell as much - helping to keep our environment cleaner .
an impressive example of adaptive behaviour and the complexity of relationships between species . when i first saw the picture , i thought the mites were simply parasiting the beetle , but the truth turns out to be far less simple and more fascinating . thanks for sharing !

although this species historically ranged from southern maine to south dakota and south to texas and florida ( temperate eastern north america ) , and was widely distributed within its range , the american burying beetle is currently known to exist in only two locations . one population is on block island , rhode island . the other is a recently discovered population in eastern oklahoma . habitats occupied on block island include maritime shrub thickets and grazed fields ( coastal moraine grasslands ) . oklahoma sites are representative of the forest / pasture ecotone and open pastures in a ridge and valley area of that state .

when a dead person is found , forensic scientists analyze the age and life cycle stages of carrion beetles present and thus can determine an approximate time of death — which helps solve crimes . also , by competing with fly maggots , burying beetles help control the numbers of flies that annoy people .
this is known as the life / lunch dichotomy . in the competition for the use of the meaty carcass of a dead mouse , if the fly loses out it gives up the equivalent of lunch … there are still other opportunities , in this case , poop , for it’s young to eat . the carrion beetle , however , may be giving up its life ( or the life of its offspring , really ) because mouse carcasses are very rare , so if the one carcass it manages to locate is eaten up by fly maggots , it’s offspring will not survive .
n . americanus is between 25 and 45 mm long and can be identified by its striking , distinctive coloring . the body is shiny black , and on its wing covers are four scalloped , orange - red markings . most distinctively , there is an orange - red marking on the beetle ' s pronotum , a large shield - like area just behind the head . n . americanus has orange facial markings and orange tips on their large antennae . the beetle is nocturnal and is a strong flier , moving as far as a kilometer in one night .
while the relationship between beetle and mites is not as black and white as described it is interesting to see evolutionary principles applied to this detail of nicrophorus behavior . of course , the beetle’s efforts to secure the rare resource for its offspring go much further – when the pair prepares the carcass for burial they reshape it and may well get rid of or destroy other eggs / larvae . they also stay underground and feed their young larvae – overall a level of involvement that’s rare in beetles and understandable under the premises that you describe in your third paragraph .


oriana ( 1807 – after 1826 ) was a british thoroughbred racehorse and broodmare who won the classic oaks stakes at epsom downs racecourse in 1810 .

the northern-trained filly won the oaks on her first appearance and finished third against colts in the st leger stakes at doncaster in her only other race that year .

she won one of her three races in 1811 and was later exported to become a broodmare in ireland .

orville , out of the four - mile race mare evelina , by the great sire , highflyer , was an exceptionally stout runner standing over 16 hands , with a powerful , stocky body . he won the st . leger at doncaster for his owner and breeder , lord fitzwilliam , and later won a number of plates and sweeps at various venues , including newmarket , for the prince of wales . in the stud he got five classic winners and led the sire ' s lists twice ; among his offspring were derby winner and two - time leading sire emilius , and the good runner muley , sire of three classic winners .
scud got some other good runners , including mariner and sheldrake , out of goosander , but none of his sons were able to carry the sire line forward . scud ' s son , steeltrap ( 1815 , from prophetess ) , bred by thornhill , was sold to australia in 1823 and was a famous stallion there ; his influence is still felt in australia and new zealand through his daughters , seen in the colonial families c2 , c4 , and c16 .
scud ' s oaks - winning daughter shoveler ( family 6 - c ) , was a
small , lengthy , and blood - like whole - coloured bay mare
who bred on , with a successful branch in poland and one that produced some classic winners and stayers in australia . her sister , sea - mew ( 1815 ) also bred on , and sea - mew ' s son , st . nicholas ( 1827 ) won some races and got two - time winner of the goodwood stakes , orelia , and two sons , yorkshire and nicholas , who were sent to the u . s . where they had some influence in bloodstock breeding .
beningbrough ' s son harefoot ( 1799 ) was out of a daughter of drone , and was half - brother to st . leger winner staveley , by shuttle . running for his owner j . wardell , and sold several times during the course of his career , he won the oatlands at newmarket craven meeting , and a several matches at newmarket , a sweepstakes at bibury , and was second to bustard in a king ' s plate at canterbury and to orville in the brighton gold cup . he was retired to stud at the end of 1805 , but left no mark as a stallion .
beningbrough got some good running daughters , and was a successful broodmare sire whose daughters produced classic winners and other good runners . oaks winner briseis , who bred the dual - classic winner corinne , has already been mentioned . rosette ( 1803 ) produced st . leger winner reveller , later a good sire . miss nancy ( 1803 ) had a st . leger winner in her good running daughter , the duchess ( 1813 , by cardinal york ) . johanna southcote ( 1811 ) produced oaks winner variation .
rosette ( 1803 ) , bred and owned by henry peirse , whose stud was near bedale in yorkshire , ran for over six years . her dam was rosamond , by tandem , who also produced a unnamed sister to rosette , from whom the irish stallion solon ( 1897 ) , the prix de l ' arc de triomphe winner samos ( 1932 ) and other good winners descended in tail - female . rosette won the doncaster prince ' s stakes , the union cup at preston , city purses at york , the richmond cup , and a number of other races at catterick and other north country venues .

the most recent common ancestor of this family is a mare by bartlet ' s childers . two of her daughters have living descendants : a mare by the scarborough colt , and a sister to volunteer , by young belgrade ( alias belgrade 2d ) . today ' s largest branch was started by miss windsor , a 1754 mare by the godolphin arabian out of sister to volunteer ; three of her daughters by snap founded lines that persist to the present .

sir marmaduke wyvill , the 6th baronet ( 1692 - 1754 ) was appointed postmaster general of ireland in 1736 . it appears that some of his running horses went with him to ireland , since there are numerous advertisements in irish newspapers for horses of his breeding . after sir marmaduke died in 1754 , his stud at constable - burton ( near bedale in yorkshire ) was advertised for sale . there was also notice in an irish newspaper that part of his stud was
sold on the sod
at the curragh . it is known that sir marmaduke did keep a stud book ( some pedigrees from
brown ' s copy of sr m : wyvills stud book
were preserved in ld rockingham ' s papers ) . however , based on omissions in gsb , it appears that the compilers never had access to sir marmaduke ' s original records .
the produce list of this mare needs revision . entries in the calendars and advertisements in ireland indicate that there was at least one full brother to volunteer . the number of full sisters is also in question ; evidence suggests possibly two , although one might be sufficient to account for the number of produce claimed for a sister of volunteer . in addition , lord godolphin ' s records ( see c m prior ,
, 1935 ) do list produce by the godolphin arabian out of three different mares belonging to sir marmaduke wyvill . these mares include volunteer ' s sister , but there is no record of volunteer ' s dam having been bred to the godolphin arabian . this raises the possibility that the pedigree of
if gsb is correct in its statement that the bartlet ' s childers mare was bred by sir marmaduke wyvill , then he probably owned this mare as well . a memorandum included in lord godolphin ' s records ( see c m prior ,

( 1935 ) on pp 178 - 9 . henry purefoy said that
it was about the year 1711 when i myself saw 8 or 10 of his racehorses breathed on ye common or green , by monk ' s house , on straw litter , for a mile around .
purefoy further stated that minshull started breeding about the year 1697 . he was a papist , like henry curwen , so it is not surprising that at least some of his horses were of mr curwen ' s breeding .
westbury was mentioned in correspondence of the duke of somerset in 1716 . in may he was to be found
in old stables
and
coughing ;
in june
westbury bled , blanketted ,
westbury bled again
and
westbury eating well , coughing and heaving little .
in july he was ill and described as rattling in the head and throat , by august , he was coughing only at night , but in october was
heaving worse .
the dates at which he raced aren ' t known , but sir marmaduke described him as having the whip at newmarket .
mare by curwen ' s old spot ( dam of westbury ) . this mare does not have an entry in gsb ; she is at present known only as a cross in pedigrees . likewise there is no known historical information about mr curwen ' s spot , although the fact that some pedigrees refer to him as marshall ' s spot is consistent with his sire being called the marshall or selaby turk
the property of mr marshall ' s brother , stud - master to king william , queen anne and king george the first
( cheny 1743 ) . a best guess puts spot ' s foaling date at about 1690 , with get estimated to have been foaled between 1695 and 1710 . a
grey called spott
was purchased by king william from mr burnett for £100 ( j p hore , the history of newmarket and the annals of the turf , iii , 1886 , p371 ) in 1698 , but given that spot was a very common name , this may have been another spot entirely .
this mare does not have an entry in gsb , and is another who is presently only known as a cross in pedigrees .
her sire has not been identified , although there are advertisements with pedigrees referring to a very early woodcock .
a bay stone colt , three years old , got by a son of the ball ' d galloway [ royal ball ] , … and out of a childer ' s mare , got by mr wm . ovington ' s childer ' s , who was full brother to the duke of devonshire ' s childers ; her dam by snake ; her dam by pullen ' s rockwood ; her dam by the bellarby turk , sire of wyndham and crutches ; her dam by brimmer ; her dam by
, out of a royal mare of mr darcey ' s of sedburgh . [
both the woodcock ' s mentioned by cheny were probably too late for these pedigrees : darcy ' s woodcock ( said to have been son of bustler ) had definitely dated get from 1716 through 1724 , and woodcock ( by old merlin , son of bustler ) had two definitely dated get in 1719 and 1720 .
it is impossible to tell , at this time , if one of these woodcock ' s went on to be used as a stallion .
keren happuch she does not appear in the american stud book . the evidence is supplied by three certificates , including one by william lightfoot , jr , which stated that he purchased from sir ferdinando poole at lewes ,
his favourite mare ,
keren happuch , at that time in foal to her half - brother waxy . other certificates indicate that
bland ' s waxy mare
of the american stud book was the daughter of keren happuch , imported in utero , and known as miss shipton [ e1 : 306 - 310 ] . keren happuch ran in the colours of sir ferdinando in england , where she was a winner [ pick 4 : 353 ] .
tarquin mare in the pedigree for young marske mare ( dam of rhoderic dhu ) , tarquin mare is said to be by
tarquin , or brother to tarquin
[ gsb 1 / 5 : 316 ] . however , it seems likely that this mare ' s dam was got by tarquin . according to information in lord rockingham ' s records [ wwm / r193 / 34a ; sheffield archives ] , the brothers to tarquin were alfred ( raced in ireland and advertised there in 1760 ) and lord rockingham ' s godolphin hunter . the godolphin hunter , as far as is now known , was a private stallion in lord rockingham ' s stud , where he had known foals from about 1757 to 1763 . tarquin was advertised at public stud for at least the years 1751 - 1758 . in addition the only known source to name this mare ' s dam - sire as
tarquin ' s brother
was mr tattersall in two advertisements in 1789 and 1790 . other sources ( advertisements for telemachus and apollo as well as pedigrees in pick ' s calendars ) gave tarquin . the most authoritative source appears to be sir c monck , who bought one of this mare ' s fillies by young marske , and showed the editor of gsb ( 3 / 3 ( 1855 ) : 95 ) a certificate given him at the time of purchase , naming tarquin .
information about manto , one of the great matriarchs of the southern hemisphere , is sometimes contradictory .
. this was corrected in the following edition . under the buzzard mare ( sister to lynceus ) , bred by mr goodison , in 1802 , her dam rose , by sweetbriar , out of merliton , by snap :
, by ditto [ soothsayer ] , attributed to mr goodison . * it was erroneously stated in the last edition that this mare was sent to new south wales , and there called manto ; but manto must have been out of one of the other sisters to lynceus [ gsb 2 / 4 : 27 ] .
she was foaled in 1817 [ ausb 1 ] , corrected to 1822 [ ausb 2 : 225 ] and her dam said to be a sister to lynceus . a further note indicates that manto was not the dam of john of paris , was not entered in gsb , and was probably from one of the sisters to lynceus foaled in 1800 or 1803 , was bred by dick goodisson , and was imported into nsw by mr icely in 1825 [ ausb 3 : 318 ] .
her arrival was noted in a newspaper , and further reports illuminate her life in australia .
. she sailed from london the 7th , and plymouth the 16th of july , and rio de janeiro the 27th august . passengers ;
of the firm of messrs . icely and hindson ; lieutenant rose , r . n ; mr . j . t . tiacomb ; mr . w . brien ; mr . john evans , and 2 servants [ the sydney gazette and new south wales advertiser , sunday 25 december 1825 , p 2 ] .
mr . icely was so fortunate the other day as to be favoured with the first thorough - bred colt that ever was dropped in the colony , out of that excellent looking creature which mr . icely imported a few months ago on the columbia . it is a filly foal , colour bay , with black legs . its dam stands 16 hands and an inch high , and is one of the noblest animals , without exception , in the country [ the sydney gazette and new south wales advertiser , saturday 6 may 1826 , p 3 ] .
the fair was not well attended , though many respectable colonists from varions parts of the country were present .
, which he imported last year , and which has since dropped a pure foal , was to be distinguished amongst the show of fine horses that certainly are a credit to the proprietors , and an honour to the country , the australian company ` s entire horses , as well as those of private individuals were to be seen prancing to and fro with all the pride and blood of true britons . if it were for nothing else , the australian agricultural company should receive the unanimous thanks of the colonists , for the fine breed of horses they have introduced , and we really think that mr . icely is as much entitled to the gold medal for importing the first blood mare , so noble a creature too , as mr . jones was for the first importation of saxon sheep [ the sydney gazette and new south wales advertiser , saturday 7 october 1826 , p 3 ] .
to be sold by auction , by mr . samuel lyons . on friday , the 29th of june instant at 10 for 11 o ` clock , at the royal hotel , george street , sydney . valuable racing stud , the thoroughbred stock consists of the following brood mares and foals of the best english blood , and will afford an eligible investment to breeders for the turf , or the indian market .

cornelia , out of manto ( no . i ) ; foaled in may , 1826
; her sire , grasshopper , by grasshopper , out of a sorcerer mere , dam of red rose ; her dam by anvil , out of lilly of the valley , by eclipse . stinted to bay camerton .

no . vi . brenda , a bay filly foaled in november , 1831 , by emigrant , out of cornelia , ( no . ii . )
cornelia was the first foal of manto in australia , and according to the newspaper ( above ) she was the first thoroughbed foaled in australia . her date of birth is said to be 1825 , although newspaper reports indicate she was foaled in 1826 ( see above also ) .
the races at parramatta , wednesday 1st october 1828 , reported in sydney monitor saturday 4th october 1828 . the second race was for the sweepstakes of 75 guineas . heats once round the course . four horses started . mr bayley ` s b h australian , aged 5ys ;
; sir j jamison ` s g g abdallah , aged 6ys ; mr lawson ` s c f nell gwynne , aged 3ys . a better race than this is seldom seen . mr icely ` s blood filly though so young , gave the crack horses something to do to beat her . abdallah lost some of his character . australian was much admired . he won the race with comparative ease . nell gwynne made fine play [ sydney monitor , saturday 4th october 1828 ] .
cossack sources vary on the date of birth of cossack from 1846 to 1848 . however , the australian stud book says 1848 [ ausb 1 : 114 ] which is corrected to 1847 [ ausb 2 : 126 ] .
io io ' s date of birth also varies . the charles elliot new zealand stud book ( 1862 ) says 1856 [ 1 : 11 ] and the new zealand stud book ( 1899 - 1900 ) says 1855 [ 1 : 61 ] .
raupo and renga these two fillies were switched in error as the new zealand stud book explains . it has been a matter of common notoriety that on an order for delivery of the filly by diomedes from waimea , another filly by diomedes from phoebe was in error substituted , which mistake was never rectified . public attention has recently been drawn to the confusion in pedigrees which has resulted , both mares having been prolific breeders . proof has been adduced of the substitution , and though it is , unfortunately , too late to make the correction in the present volume , hence - forth the descendants of raupo will be traced through waimea to the no 18 family , and those of renga through phoebe to the colonial taproot woodstock [ nz - sb 4 ( 1909 ) : xxvi ] .

on the first episode of season 2 of bojack horseman : the
episode
menu button is missing the
d
( it ' s up by the
season
drop - down menu ) .
it ' s a subtle nod to the netflix series ' fans , who ' ll remember bojack ( will arnett ) stealing the d from the famed hollywood sign to impress diane ( alison brie ) in season 1 . from there , the details only get more delightful . there are callbacks , set - ups , puns , minutiae that no one in their right mind would have taken the time to think up , much less animate . but that ' s part of what makes the wonderfully absurd world of bojack such a joy to enter , and we ' d be remiss in not pointing out every last clever little thing we could see , both for the benefit of you , the viewer , and to give props to the brains behind the show . here ' s everything we noticed from episodes 1 - 3 .

volatis stud was founded by sacha shaw in 2004 with the purchase of the first two broodmares , foxwood polo and dee dee g . in those early days the aim was to breed super all round athletes that could turn a hoof to any discipline , and ideally coloured .
in more recent years the emphasis has switched to focusing on the breeding of top class sporthorses . the aim is to cross top quality proven mares from the finest motherlines with the best stallions , to breed exceptional sporthorses with that little bit extra . temperament and athleticism are the most important considerations , but rigorous attention is paid to finding the right match for each mare , in terms of type , conformation and pedigree . the mares are all highly graded in multiple studbooks .
volatis stud is the fulfilment of a lifetime’s ambition and dreams . owned and managed by sacha shaw , volatis is a place where dreams are born and allowed to soar . the word volatis is itself derived from the latin word volo , which means to fly or soar , the sentiment of which the following quotation from the shakespeare play henry v captures perfectly - ‘ when i bestride him i soar , i am a hawk . he trots the air , the earth sings when he touches it . ’
sacha was born into a national hunt racing family , and as a teenager competed in a number of disciplines at home in zambia . she represented zambia as a junior in show jumping and was also eventing at intermediate level from the age of 14 . after graduating with a business law degree she re - schooled a number of ex - racehorses , and after some years working in accountancy , decided to make the move to working full time with horses . as well as running a successful livery yard , she spent some years managing the famous daldorn stud for lady benton - jones and producing her young horses for the show ring .
at the start of 2010 sacha sold the majority of the breeding stock and moved to germany to work for the world famous paul schockemohle at his stallion station and competition yard in muhlen . this proved to be an immensely educational experience , working with , and riding , top class athletes , some of whom have gone on to international championship careers . sacha had always followed the german breeding scene with interest , visiting stallion approvals and shows , but to be immersed in the centre of it was extremely enlightening .
