Dung Beetle

Dung Beetles are beetles that feed on feces. They are round with short wing covers (elytra) that expose the end of the abdomen. Usually dark in color, the male's head will have a curved horn at the top in some species.[1] In some species, the ball of manure can be as large as an apple.
