Gaillardia with beetle


I'm not sure if this could be a Carrion Beetle or maybe a Burying Beetle? Yesterday, I was trying to focus on the Gaillardia flower and only then did I notice this little red and black beauty.
There were two walks I wanted to go on yesterday - an afternoon botany walk at Griffith Woods, especially as I have missed most of the walks this session; and a birding walk in the evening in Fish Creek Park. Usually, I don't do two walks on the same day.
Photographed this Gaillardia and the Great Blue Heron at the Fish Creek Park location, and the Horsetail photo was taken at Griffith Woods. After the evening walk, a few of us went to Tim Horton's for coffee and chat. Coffee doesn't usually keep me awake, but I guess I'm not normally drinking it at 10:00 pm! Despite feeling tired out from two walks, I was also 'wired' and it was 6:00 am before i finally fell into bed. An hour later, I was awake, so today is definitely a slow day at home, as it feels like my brain is barely functioning..
