The earth-boring dung beetles (Geo­trupidae) are medium-sized beetles with 600 known species worldwide. The majority of the species feeds on dung or decaying plant matter. A few species are herbivorous. Many of the species exhibit brood care behavior by digging tunnels, which are used to store dung balls as food for their developing larvae.When earth-boring dung beetles do carry or roll the dung away, they do so primarily to feed their young. Most prefer to feed on herbivore droppings, which are largely undigested plant matter, rather than carnivore waste, which holds very little nutritional value for insects.

Donating to the museum

In New Horizons

Blathers has this to say about the earth-boring dung beetle:

"Earth-boring dung beetles are considered quite handsome by some, thanks to their metallic luster. In fact, some even think them to be good omens and bringers of favorable fortune. But I must protest! These field- ravaging pests love to burrow under piles of dung and lay their eggs. They raise their young under DUNG! Need I say more? Ick. I think not."

When donated, it is found near the entrance of the exhibit, crawling around on the ground between the two trees holding the Wasp and Bagworm.
