When you stroll along country roads or visit pastoral areas, you can often find rolling dung balls. Looking closely, it turned out that two insects were carrying "treasures"-food to satisfy hunger. Their behavior is very strange. One pulls at the front and the other pushes at the back. With this push and pull, the dung ball slowly rolls forward. So this is a couple. Usually the female worm is in front and the male worm is in the back, which is very interesting. This clever and interesting little insect is usually called dung beetles or dung beetles, and some people call it dung beetles or Cow dung turtle. Dung beetles are completely deformed insects that move at night. But dung balls are pushed during the day. Live underground (in a cave). In the ancient book Er Ya Yi (written by Luo Yuan in Song Dynasty), it was recorded that "the dung beetle turned into a pill, dragged it with its feet when it moved forward, and pushed it from behind. Candy was nine, and a few days later the little dung beetle emerged from it". It can be seen from the records of these sentences that the author's observation is very detailed and tells us the purpose of dung beetles pushing dung balls. Cockroaches can make a lot of cow dung into small balls, then push them into pre-dug caves for storage and enjoy them slowly. Because the circle saves effort when rolling on the ground, it is easier to transport it back to the nest. Female dung beetles lay their eggs in dung balls. After the eggs hatch, the dung beetles can get food immediately.
Dung beetles, commonly known as dung beetles, belong to COLEOPTERA. Black or dark brown body, large and medium-sized insects. The forefoot is the digging foot, the hind foot is close to the end of the abdomen and far from the middle foot, and the tibiofibular joint of the hind foot has a terminal distance. Antenna gill leaflike, hammer hair, small shield invisible. The sheath wing completely covers the abdominal valve.
