Dung beetle (likely a scarab beetle)

Grasslands, savannas, forests, and agricultural areas, usually wherever animal dung is available. Many species live in or beneath soil.

Adults and larvae primarily consume herbivore dung; some species eat carrion, fungi, fruit, or decaying organic matter.

Adults locate dung by smell, shape it into balls or bury it directly, and provision underground chambers for eggs. Larvae develop within the buried food source; adults may be nocturnal and strongly attracted to lights.

Generally harmless to people and not venomous. Dung beetles recycle nutrients, improve soil aeration, disperse seeds, and reduce livestock-pest breeding sites.
