Dung Roller Beetle
Adults gather fresh dung which they form into a ball,
in the center of which the female lays an egg. Then
both sexs roll this food store to a suitable location
and bury it. The larva hatch and feed on the dung,
there being a suffiient supply to feed the larva until
it reaches maturity.
