Beetles


Chlorocala umtaliensis
Africa
​adult size 20mm


Geotrupes stercorarius
UK
​adult size 25mm
​
These beetles are known as Dor Beetles - they suck up the juices from animal droppings and take it underground to spit back out and line breeding chambers & tunnels with it.  We keep ours in a 6" depth  of old used flake soil and leaf litter and once a week I tip a nice tasty scoop of fresh rabbit poo on top, they really are fascinating to watch.
