long), and as tunneling (rather than ball-rolling) dung beetles, they are not likely to be observed on the surface. The nesting behavior of these beetles consists of packing the blind end of a tunnel with a “sausage” of food into which is laid a single egg, a process repeated several to many times in a single nest below the food source (
