The Scarab Beetle Is Also Known As the Dung Beetle

• These scarabs-- also known as dung beetles--are
  important because they eat dung and decaying
  vegetables.

Our planet would have been buried in manure long
ago if it hadnt been for the dung beetle.

• Whether in the plains of Africa, the jungles of
  the Amazon, or the cattle ranches of Texas,
  thousands of dung beetles do their work.

Each day beetles clear away millions of tons of
droppings from messy mammals.

• The dung can be whisked away in a matter of hours
  or minutes.

• Like earthworms, they churn up and
  aerate the soil making it rich to grow crops.

• They bury what they dont eat, and this adds
  nitrogen to the soil.

Its stout legs are like scoops and rakes used to
gather dung.
