Scarabaeus viettei
large, black, about 1",
dry spiny desert
I spotted these 2 dung beetles rolling this ball of dung across a road near Toliara in the southwest. It was entertaining to watch them try and maneuver this ball up a small incline on the side of the road. They are also known as rollers or scarab beetles.
