About the Dung Beetle
Dung beetles are beetles that feed on animal droppings, which they gather and often roll into neat balls. By burying this waste, they clean up the ground and return nutrients to the soil, helping new plants grow. Some kinds can move a dung ball many times heavier than themselves. Add this dung beetle to a lesson on the small cleanup crews that keep a field healthy.
- Dung beetles feed on animal droppings and bury much of it.
- This buried waste enriches the soil and recycles nutrients.
- There are more than 5,000 true dung beetle species.
