It is a known fact that some species of the lowly dung beetle that feed off animal droppings, first form their finds into little balls and roll them away to a safe distance. However, what the scientists had never been able to figure out is how the beetle is able to navigate itself and its tasty little morsel in a straight line, away from the pile of droppings where they are likely to encounter competitors. Now, thanks to a team of Swedish researchers the mystery has been at least partially solved and the answer, is causing quite a stir amongst the scientific community.

rrcherrypie13년 이하These beetles can be very helpful to the earth but the one reason why I don't want to be a dung beetle is that you eat animal dropping. I am afraid of bugs so the pictures of the Dung beetles were a bit scary to me. Last summer, there were a lot of bugs on our porch that if you were scared of bugs like I am, you would not be able to go play outside in the nice summer sun. Dung beetles don't look thta scary , but sometimes you just what to stomp on them with your shoe when you see one. =) =)
stinkbrain13년 이하That is amazing and disgusting! I wish they had African Dung Beetles at the horseback riding trails at Camp Tecumsah in Indiana. There's alot of manure from the horses. I think it's really weird that they live in 2 inch balls of poop. I think it is interesting that they dance on the dung balls to figure out where they need to go by using the Milky Way.- aka13년 이하WICKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
