Nice shots
They look oversharpened but I am viewing on my phone.

Interesting info on the mites.

That is a handsome beast. Nice find.

Interesting about the symbiotic relationship. Thanks for mentioning that. For those (like me) who don't know about this, I found a bit more about it at https://www.whatsthatbug.com/2009/08/10/burying-beetle-with-mites/
