Black-Streaked Dung Beetle

Nimbus contaminatus

Black-Streaked Dung Beetle

Adults inhabit dung-rich grasslands, grazing areas, and other open habitats where fresh droppings are available. They feed on dung and bury portions in soil as food stores and brood provisions. The glossy wing cases protect the body, while the adult can fly to locate new dung patches.
