Burying Beatle
I believe I have named this correctly but there are apparently seven different types within the UK. Can someone shed a little more light?

Oh and another thing. I was taught "If suffix begins with a voul drop the E". Did someone tell me wrong?

Not a burying beetle but one of the longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), Rutpela maculata.
