Aphodius cretaceous Larva
Aphodius cretaceous (larva)
The larva develops in dung-rich soil or within a brood chamber prepared by adults. It feeds on decaying dung and organic matter, using its mandibles to break apart the material. Unlike the winged adult, it is pale, grub-like, and spends its life hidden underground.
