The Dung Beetle

Image hosted by Photobucket.com

The Dung Beetle has got to be one of the most fascinating insects! When it comes across the feces of other animals, it collects and rolls it into a ball. After doing so, it will lay its eggs within the dung and hide it. When the eggs hatch, the ball of shit becomes their food source. Talk about resourceful!

It's got to make you wonder if the Dung Beetle takes any abuse from his insect buddies, though.

Grasshopper: Hey, there goes Steve! What are you doing, you crazy fuck!?
Ant: It looks like he's...Nah, it couldn't be.
Grasshopper: No, I think he's really--he is! He's rolling a giant ball of shit!
Ant: I think I'm gonna puke!
Grasshopper: Steve, you lunatic!
Steve: Shut up, guys! You're just jealous!
