The dung beetle Onthophagus coenobita in Hedgemead Park in #Bath yesterday. Usually found on herbivore dung, but occasionally on carrion and decaying fungi. Might have flown in from the surrounding countryside. Males (like this one) have a prominent horn arising from the back of the head.

Every day is a school day...whilst not seeing Ring Ouzel, my eye was caught by a shiny, crawly thing..... a male Minotaur Beetle (the female doesn't have the three horns). Widespread but scarce apparently.

Got a chance to photograph one of North America's most beautiful dung beetles, Copris arizonensis, at the Bugshot course in Portal last month. The various textures and shapes on this animal are amazing.

#Dungbeetle food becomes #DNA samples for #biodiversity researchers in #Peru
Researchers are sequencing DNA of #wildlife using dung beetle stomach contents #Beetles are plentiful in #rainforest and are not endangered. The study does mean that the beetles are killed, but overall, the effect on the #ecosystem is minimal. Once the researchers at Manu Biological Station have a larger database of DNA samples, they will be able to track all kinds of animals through the forest. https://arstechnica.com/science/2024/03/scientists-get-dung-beetles-to-collect-dna-samples-for-biodiversity-studies/ -

Hey, Trump!
