Discover the fascinating world of dung beetles, also known as sacred scarabs (Scarabaeus sacer) and their relatives, at Addo Elephant Park in South Africa. Witness the industrious Sacred scarabs rolling dung balls, while Onthophagus nuchicornis, Coprophanaeus lancifer, Sulcophanaeus carnifex, and Geotrupes stercorarius earn their titles as earth-boring dung beetles. In Europe, the Anoplotrupes stercorosus, or forest dung beetle, performs a similar role in Untergroeningen, Baden-Wuerttemberg. Elsewhere, the Minotaur beetle (Geotrupes minotaurinus) and Dor beetle (Prionotus Dor) continue the dung beetle legacy, transforming waste into valuable resources for the ecosystem.
