My Favorite Beetle

So I have to chose my favorite beetle, I mean really this is a hard subject. Technically speaking I have as high as 100 million choices that I would really have to consider. So after narrowing down my search to 4 I did manage to choose a winner. But first let me talk about the 3 close calls.
I really thought about choosing the Hercules beetle, a type of Rhino beetle, why because for its size it’s the strongest freaking animal on the planet. However I realized this feat wasn’t so great considering I could step on it and show it just how strong it is.
Next I thought about choosing the Madagascar Hissing cockroach, then remembering my Invertebrate Biology classes I realized it wasn’t a beetle and hissing although comical and creepy wasn’t really that interesting.
Then I thought about what most of our neighbors across the pond refer to as May bugs, however their real name is Cockchafers. Okay I really don’t think I have to explain my choice here except to say “Hehe he said ……”.
So that brings me to my grand selection. Folks I decided to chose our old friend the Dung Beetle. I know I know your thinking why the dung beetle, I mean it is named after poo. Well that’s why I like it. I mean anything that can own up to the fact that it is named after feces really is a remarkable creature. Not only does it own up to that fact, it also eats poo, in fact that is all it eats it doesn’t even drink water it drinks poo juice, sounds yummy to me. The dung beetle is so proud of poo it rolls it up in a ball and roles it around. Why it does this I’m not really sure but I would say it wants to show all its friends the fact that its poo ball is bigger than his, I think technically it might just be the male beetles who share this fascination. Because apparently the female beetle chases down a male beetle that has a big poo ball and decides she wants to mate with him. Not really sure what that says about the females but I think its typical for most females, the more poo the male has the more attractive he becomes.
