EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: A Regal Figure from the New Forest: The Beaulieu Dung Beetle (Aphodius niger) 2.. This image showcases a mounted specimen of the elusive Beaulieu Dung Beetle (Aphodius niger), a rare and intriguing invertebrate native to the New Forest in Hampshire, England. The New Forest, a unique ecosystem in Southern England, is renowned for its diverse array of wildlife, and this dung beetle is one of its most fascinating inhabitants. The Beaulieu Dung Beetle, a member of the Scarabaeidae family, is a scarab beetle, characterized by its distinctive, rounded body shape and powerful, winged form. Aphodius niger is a specific species of dung beetle, belonging to the subfamily Aphodiinae, or the Aphodiine dung beetles. The beetle's striking appearance is accentuated in this studio shot, revealing its rich, dark coloration and intricate, hexagonal patterns on its elytra (wing cases). These patterns serve as both camouflage and communication tools, helping the beetle blend in with its environment and attract mates. The Beaulieu Dung Beetle's unique habitat and rarity make it an essential subject of study for entomologists and naturalists. Its role in the forest ecosystem is vital, as it plays a crucial part in the decomposition process by burying and breaking down dung, contributing to nutrient cycling and soil health. This exquisite specimen is a testament to the beauty and intricacy of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the fascinating world of arthropods and the essential role they play in maintaining balance within their ecosystems. 3.
