Dor Beetle

Anoplotrupes stercorosus

Dor Beetle

The adult dung beetle inhabits deciduous woodland, forest edges, and grazed clearings where animal dung is available. It digs tunnels beneath dung and carries portions underground to feed itself and provision its young. Its robust exoskeleton and powerful legs make it an effective excavator despite its small size.
