Extended data:

Most of dung beetles is a dung eater, feeding on animal dung, and has the title of "natural scavenger". It often makes the feces into balls, rolls them to a reliable place to hide, and then slowly eats them. A dung beetle can roll a dung ball much bigger than its body. Female dung beetles in reproductive period will make dung balls into pears and lay eggs in them.

The hatched larvae feed on ready-made dung balls, and they don't break out until they develop into adult dung beetles. Plant-eating dung beetles feed on sweet tree juice. After mating, female dung beetles lay their eggs in humus soil. After about 10 days, the larvae break out and feed on humus soil or animal feces. The larvae grow continuously, turn into pupae in July of the following year and become adults in about 20 days.
