Most of the 5,000 and counting species of Scarabaeinae, the ‘true dung beetles’, feed exclusively on dung. They are born in a turd, and they live, work and die in faeces. They’re not the only ones.<br />

Dung Beetle

A Decade of Curious Creatures. Some of Them Not Describ’d Before. Heard in Their Natural Voice, and as They Sound Enlarg’d Before the Condenser Microphone. With Their History, Characters, Manner and Places of Abode. That’s the full title. These are stories told in rhyme about insects, arachnids and other such feared and unfavoured creatures, featuring music, field recordings and an ecosystem of curious souls. For more information about the project, please visit us at: http://adecadeofcuriouscreatures.com Recorded and imprinted from nature by R.J. Swammerdam, with collections from N. Racker and D. Orphan.
