Dung Beetle

This cute little critter:

Beetle

Had only one goal:

Dog dung

Watch him pursue it:

I won’t even guess which of the thousands of species of dung beetles this one is. However, he lurks reliably on the walk to the garden, waiting for the dogs to drop balls of delectable dung beetle delight.
