Scarab Beetle, Dyngbagge (Scarabaeus laticollis).jpg

Found at the Cuber Lake where sheep graze. This is a female that does all the hard work. When she has rolled the dung to a suitable spot she buries it after she has laid an egg in it. The larva hatches to eat the dung to then develop into an adult
