Dung Beetle

Notes:

Although this is a terrible picture, I believe it is a dung beetle. He was rolling a round piece through the grass of my backyard with his rear legs, he was quick to escape under the grass before I could get a clearer picture.

I love these little beetles - they are always so busy and interesting to watch. They do a great job too.... Nice spotting, Sancia !
