EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph showcases the intriguing world of Scarabaeus rusticus, a dung beetle species native to South Africa. Known for their distinctive orange-red antennae and powerful legs, Scarabaeus rusticus are commonly referred to as tumble dung beetles or rollers due to their unique behavior of rolling spheres of dung to create nesting sites. In this image, the beetle is seen diligently working on a sphere of dung, likely collected from the droppings of an elephant. As members of the Scarabaeidae family, Scarabaeus rusticus belong to the order Coleoptera, which includes over 400,000 described species of beetles. They are part of the larger group Hexapoda, which encompasses all six-legged invertebrates. Scarabaeus rusticus specifically fall under the suborder Scarabaeinae and the superfamily Scarabaeoidea. This photograph captures the beetle in its natural habitat during daytime hours. Dung beetles play a crucial role in the ecosystem by breaking down and recycling nutrients found in animal waste, contributing to the overall health and productivity of the soil. Their presence is a clear indication of a thriving ecosystem, making them an essential component of various habitats around the world. The intricate details of the Scarabaeus rusticus' exoskeleton, combined with its engaging behavior, make this photograph an exceptional representation of the natural world. This image offers a glimpse into the fascinating lives of these often overlooked yet vital invertebrates, highlighting the beauty and diversity found in the insect kingdom.
