You could say they’ve got a s…ty life, but dung beetles like these ones (probably a Kepher sp.) are happy with that! Dung, especially that of herbivores like elephants and rhinos, is a still highly valuable source of energy for both the adult beetles and, such as in this case, for their future larvae. This couple (male rolling the ball, female holding tight to it) is about to bury this big “take away food” and deposit an egg on it. The larva will have a fresh pile of…food and it will eventually pupate inside it, protected underground. And remember, as someone once said: “if we didn’t have dung beetles, Africa would have been covered by s…t in less than a decade”! :-) maybe a little bit exaggerated, but surely truthful in its message!

Currently: Cabin Dungbeetle is reenacting the battle of 1812.

If only horses were real, that would make this story much more believable.

I made orbstructrions for making PollinatORBS (née seed bomb, but everything's so violent in the world, I didn't want the CHILDREN to see the word bomb. Or me. I don't want to see the word bomb if I don't have to. I am 35.)

Will the teachers I email this to use this worksheet? Maaaan who knows. Does the pollinatORB I drew kinda look like a turd thats being rolled by a dungbeetle? YEAH A LITTLE. But. Whatever kids. We're going with it.

Help a little bug near you. Look up native plants in your area. Plant a couple of em. Whisper to the first bug you see that you're happy to see them.
