Life and death

Currently the rains are very delayed in the Afar region, resulting in large deaths under livestock, but at least the beetles still have a good time

Aledeghi plains

yumee for the tummy.

how long did you have to wait for that juxtaposition?

I just saw my first dung beetles the other week in Vietnam. Very cool little fellows they are.

Actually both dead cattle and dung beetle were so common that it was very easy. I was trying to get a proper photo of the beetle, when the background changed dramatically, so I decided to zoom a bit less

These were actually my first dung beetles as well and they are very cool indeed.

@WWE, especially yummie for the vulture tummies, there are extremely high densities of vultures around here and I can imagine why...
