- The Dung Beetle: 🔹 There are approximately 780 species of Dung Beetle in South Africa alone. They vary in size from a minuscule 5mm to a larger species at 50mm. 🔹 On average dung beetles can roll a ball of dung 50 times their own weight – these little guys are pretty strong! 🔹 If it weren’t for beetles, dung would harden and cover the ground. Grass and other plants would find it very difficult to grow. They also help to assist in fertilising the ground by breaking up and burying the dung. #visithomestead #thehomestead #dungbeetle #wildlifephotography #wanderlust #igtravel #travelgram #instatravel #luxurytravel #luxurysafari #africansafari #southafrica #nambiti
