The Dung Beetle

Nothing better, to understand the versatility and variety of nature, than to pause for a moment to consider the tricks of the dung beetle.

He is an eccentric being like few others. Small and sturdy, it is able to withstand bad odors and contribute to a better pasture.

Otherwise, he is not a fool.

Its best friends are cows and it can orient itself by observing the Milky Way.

Most of us don’t know how to do it.

For all of you who marvel at Nature’s diversity and adaptability, pause for a moment and consider the wondrous capabilities of the dung beetle.

For this creature is as peculiar as they come.

Diminutive yet robust, this little fellow is impervious to the worst stench, as he makes use of its source to enrich pasturelands.

Indeed, this scarab is savvy!

Cows are his best friends, and he orients himself by observing the Milky Way.

Who among us can compare?
