Dung beetles are a group of hardworking insects that use dung for nesting and feeding. Australia has over 500 species of native beetles, the majority of which process the coarse pellet like dung of marsupials. As only a small number of native species evolved to break down cattle dung introduced species were brought into Australia in the 1950’s.
