All dung beetles survive on the juices of animal feces. Some, like S. satyrus, roll up balls and stash them in protective burrows. Females also lay their eggs on carefully stored balls, providing food for their young until they emerge from the burrow as adults.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBut it’s a tough world out there, and even this insect has competitors - including other kinds of dung beetles (and even rivals of the same species), so S. satyrus has evolved some amazing adaptations to avoid drama. It becomes active at sunset when rival species are ending their day. After collecting fresh dung, it climbs its ball and spins around to survey the sky. Using the moon, polarized light, and even the Milky Way, it can navigate in an almost straight line back to its home burrow.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis incredible creature is one of few animals and the only known insect to navigate with the light of our galaxy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDon't forget to subscribe to The Bug Box so you never miss out on a future adventure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"The Bug Box","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67650896036018,"sku":"dnt1791391234940","price":44.25,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/3822\/3026\/files\/january-2023-bug-box-nocturnal-dung-beetle_1.png?v=1791391242","url":"https:\/\/www.venvixor.com\/products\/january-2023-bug-box-nocturnal-dung-beetle","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
