New, what is it? Snake or?
This is the mark I saw on top of my car this morning.

Honestly it was more likely from a moth who is near the end of it's life cycle (from their common lack of mouth parts) fluttering it's wings in hopes of flying once again.
Rest in peace little winged ball of fuzz, you will be remembered and we shall forever call you "Cobra."

No tail drag so beetles seems most likely.

Yeah. Mice don't even walk around like this when there is nothing around. They skirt alongside things, using cover, they don't wander in the open.
It's a colleopteran or a hemipteran most likely, or potentially the wounded moth theory one person mentioned
