Have you ever seen the amusing sight of the dung beetle diligently rolling a dung ball? Dung beetles shape the dung of animals like cows and sheep into balls, which they then roll home or bury underground. In pastures with many dung beetles, you'll only see fresh dung, not older ones. However, on city concrete roads, dung beetles struggle to survive, so children living in the city may never see them. As early as ancient Egypt, people were amazed by dung beetles rolling dung balls and believed them to be the embodiment of the god who made the sun and stars move, thus worshipping them greatly. The entomologist Mr. Fabre was also very interested in dung beetles. He studied many species of dung beetles in his lifetime, including the Spanish dung beetle with beautiful antennae, the shiny naked dung beetle, and the Sisyphus dung beetle, which averages nine egg chambers. Among them, the dung beetle known as the "Sacred Beetle," Fabre studied for over 30 years. Now, let's join Fabre in exploring the life of dung beetles!
