Dung Beetle

Oxysternon conspicillatum

Notes:

These bettles (?) are really common around my neighborhood. I'm afraid of them because they fly like to all directions following you (or at least they keep follow me). I'd like to know what kind of bug is so I can learn more about them. By the way, I did not kill it, this is how I found it.
