Family Geotrupidae. Looks like a female because of the lack of horns. I'd say Anthyrus sp. There's a list of Geotrupids for Costa Rica at: http://coleoptera-neotropical.org/pagina...
Neat little guy. It almost looks like a hairy dung scarab. All that hair doesn't seem very practical for messing around in the dung though. And he is not dirty. What was he doing?
Does anybody knows the ID of this cute beetle?
