Dung beetles collect and roll dung to use as food and to lay their eggs inside. By burying dung, they help recycle nutrients, improve soil health, and reduce parasites in the environment. They play a key role in keeping ecosystems clean and balanced.

They see me rollin’… A dung beetle is a small insect, typically from the Scarabaeidae family, known for feeding on and using animal feces (dung). They often roll dung into balls to eat, lay eggs in, or use as shelter. Hmm, must’ve missed that episode of House Hunters. Found in many parks, they play a key ecological role by breaking down waste, improving soil health, and recycling nutrients. That is one big pile of 💩. Some species are known for their immense strength, capable of moving dung ball
