A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Scarabaeinae
Many dung beetles, known as rollers, are noted for rolling dung into spherical balls, which are used as a food source or brooding chambers. Other dung beetles, known as tunnelers, bury the dung wherever they find it. A third group, the dwellers, neither roll nor burrow: they simply live in manure.

I spotted this near the village of Hluhluwe.

Hahaha! Sure, why bury it or roll it if you can just live in it?
I imagine the dwellers as the group that watches the other two groups and says "Yeah, I can do that," and then give up after five minutes.
