Many of these are degenerations in the pronunciation of names that originated in other languages. Sometimes a well-known namesake with the same spelling has a markedly different pronunciation. These are known as heterophonic names or heterophones (unlike heterographs, which are written differently but pronounced the same).
Male and female beetles are attracted to carrion for reproduction and feeding. Male N. orbicollis attract females by emitting pheromones but they will only do so when a carcass is present. After mating, the female will lay her eggs from about 12–48 hours after discovering a suitable carcass. Eggs hatch around 56 hours after oviposition.
