Rainbow scarab

Pastures, woodlands, and areas with livestock manure across North America

Dung (primarily from herbivores such as cattle), feeding on organic matter within the feces

Dung beetles roll and bury dung into underground chambers where they lay eggs, providing a food source for their larvae

Completely harmless to humans; highly beneficial as they recycle nutrients, improve soil aeration, and help control pest flies by removing manure from the surface
