small dung beetle

Description:

unlike the larger dung beetle sharing the dung heap, I've not seen the small blue ones rolling a ball of dung. Without these marvelous creatures I have no doubt that there would literally be rhino and elephant dung everywhere in reserves that house those magnificent animals
