Was gibt es Schöneres, ... als die Woche mit einem Mistkäfer zu starten? Ja, seine Ernährung ist nicht ganz so toll, aber optisch finde ich den toll. So schöne schillernde Farben 😍💜💙🖤 "Der Waldmistkäfer (Anoplotrupes stercorosus) ist ein Käfer aus der Familie der Mistkäfer (Geotrupidae). Er ist eine im Wald häufig vorkommende Art und ist in ganz Europa zumeist in Buchenwäldern heimisch. Waldmistkäfer werden 12 bis 19 mm lang und erreichen somit nicht die Länge des sehr ähnlichen Gemeinen Mistkäfers. Die Käfer sind schwarzblau, die Deckflügel sind seitlich blau, violett oder grün, der Halsschild ist bei manchen Tieren blauviolett. Die Unterseite des Körpers ist metallblau, violett oder grün, die Fühler sind rotbraun. Die Basis des Halsschildes ist vollständig gerandet und unregelmäßig gepunktet. Der Endzahn der Vorderschienen ist leicht zugespitzt, und die Schenkel der Vorderbeine besitzen keinen Tomentfleck auf ihrer Vorderseite. Die Hinterschienen sind zudem nur mit zwei Querleisten versehen. Die Deckflügel besitzen keine Naht und haben je sieben leicht gepunktete Längsrillen." Quelle: @wikipedia Habt einen schönen Montag morgen und startet gut in die unterbrochene Woche 🖤💙💜🌞 Achja morgen geht's um die Ernährung der Käfer🤭🫣💩 __________________________ 📸 Foto: @der.patrikant __________________________ 🕵🏻‍♂️ ID: Anoplotrupes stercorosus (Non-living specimen / totes Präparat) 🧩 Stacked image __________________________ 📷 Canon EOS RP 🔭 Pergear 60mm F2.8 Ultramacro MKII 🔎 Raynox DCR-150  ⚡ Godox V860III  ☂️ Homemade Diffusor (made by @_fotopirat_) __________________________ #macro  #macrophoto #nature   #naturephotography  #insect #naturfotografie  #insects  #photography  #insects_of_our_world  #animallovers  #macronature  #macronaturliebe #naturelovers  #picofinstagram #fotografie  #instagood  #instagram  #makro  #macrophotography   #waldmistkäfer #mistkäfer #dungbeetle #coleoptera #anoplotrupesstercorosus #exciremakro @excire_germany #pergear @pergear_photos @pergear @pergear.japan

Gestern besuchte uns eine große Zahl von Nachtschwärmern im Rahmen der "Bielefelder Nachtansichten 2024". Wir hatten dieses Mal wieder einen enormen Andrang im @naturkundemuseumbielefeld in unserem Insektenbereich. Es konnten in mehreren Kästen die "Schemen der Dunkelheit" betrachtet werden. Hierbei handelte es sich um einen Überblick über die heimische Nachtfalter-Fauna. Auch die "Giganten der Nacht", die größten Vertreter der weltweit vorkommenden Nachtfalter wurden bestaunt - dazu gab es zu den beeindruckenden Tieren auch noch Hintergrundgeschichten und Zusatzwissen. Von welchen Problemen diese diverse Insektengruppe betroffen ist und warum viele von ihnen rückläufig sind, machte einige Besucher betroffen und nachdenklich. Aber das Interesse an diesen Themen war groß und regte zu vielen fruchtbaren Diskussionen an. Auch über die Orientierungsfähigkeiten von Dungkäfern bei Nacht konnte man sich ausgiebig informieren. Zu guter Letzt wurden ebenfalls wieder Insekten künstlerisch verewigt und konnten von den bei uns haltmachenden Nachtschwärmern mitgenommen werden. Einen herzlichen Dank an dieser Stelle noch einmal an alle Besucher!

The Scottish Bluebells are just starting to appear in the Kinclaven Woods! There are plenty of wood anemone and little blue violas to see. We also saw some sluggish blue Dor beetles (Anoplutrupes stercorarius) walking across the path. Lots to see and plenty of birdsong to listen to! Spring flowers are growing freely and independently on a sunny day in the Scottish Garden! The Spring plants are enjoying the Scottish sunshine in the Scottish Garden! #angus #birds #bees We are enjoying the Spring plants emerging in the Scottish Garden! The Clematis, Camellia, Magnolia Stellata, cherry blossom and catkins bring a big bright colourful splash of colour to the Scottish garden! Heralding the awakening of Spring!

🪲DUNG BEETLE VIBES 💚 The African dung beetle, also known as the scarab beetle, is one of the strongest creatures on Earth, capable of moving objects over 1,000 times its own body weight! They have an incredible sense of smell, allowing them to detect dung from miles away, which they use for food and reproduction. Dung beetles play a crucial role in ecosystems by recycling dung, which helps to fertilize soil and control parasites.

#dungbeetle We do have dung beetles in Singapore 😍

Things found under coyote dung include the scooped scarab beetle Onthophagus hecate. This is a male. They tunnel in the ground beneath the scat as opposed to rolling it up. About the size of a house fly. #dungbeetle #onthophagus #onthophagushecate

. 🌱 Well what can I say….. one man’s trash is another man’s treasure 🤭 . 🍃 Beetles may not be everyone’s fav, but these cuties are fascinating to watch. A male will present a perfectly formed ball of dung to the female, if excepted, together they roll their treasure away 🖤 . 🍂 Sighting in South Africa’s Pilanesberg National park #wu_africa #excellent_nature #earthcapture #inspiringafricantravel #pclimd #photo_pond #pilanesberg_ #nature_brilliance #nature_sultans #africanamazing #african_portraits #safari #igs_africa #africanconservation #igscglobal #pclimd #bbcearth #naturephotography #live_love_wildlife #wildgeography #bbcwildlifepotd #raw_africa #naturettl #wildlifephotography #exploringourglobe #dungbeetle #africa #africanwildlife #africageophoto

The animals are back 😁

Meet the beetle that loves animal feces, the Dung Beetle Classification: Invertebrates – Insects Status: Data Deficient Habitat: Woodlands, deserts, grasslands and rainforests across all continents but Antarctica Diet: Animal dung Threats: Habitat loss Fun facts: Their entire lives revolve around poo in some way! They are seen rolling poo in balls because they can feed their larvae. They are one of the few bugs to exhibit parental care for their young. They are also called scarabs, and were major elements of Ancient Egyptian artwork and jewellery. It seemed to have associations with the god Khepri, who was said to roll up the sun over the horizon daily. However, not all 8,000 species of dung beetle use animal dung, but most do.

Well, it’s been a minute since posting on here. Life, I suppose, but everyone says that. So here’s what’s been going on lately….. My workplace, BBC Studios in Bristol, holds a wonderful makers’ market a couple of times a year and at the past two, the Dung Beetle’s story has been up for grabs! Thanks to my friends and colleagues for supporting it. I love hearing their feedback considering they are big natural history fans and experts themselves… and a few have even filmed the dung beetle in the wild 🪲 #childrensbooks #childrensbooksaboutwildlife #childrensauthor #naturalhistory #bbcstudios #bbcnaturalhistoryunit #dungbeetle #makersmarket #indieauthors

En dyngbagge och hans boll. Ibland undrar jag hur min hjärna funkar. När veckans ord i inktober var Ball tänkte jag direkt på dyngbaggar. Känns som att det inte är det första som de flesta tänker på. Men vad vet jag? Så kul att göra prickar i alla fall. ☺️ 68/100 och inktober52 ball. / A dung beetle and his ball. Sometimes I wonder how my brain is wired. When I saw that the promt for this week was Ball I immediately thought of dung beetles. Feels like that is not what comes to mind for most people. Or maybe it is.

Let's talk about the unsung hero of ecosystems: the dung beetle! 🌍 Did you know these tiny creatures play a vital role in our environment? From recycling nutrients to improving soil health, they're nature's cleanup crew! Next time you see one, give a nod to this powerhouse of sustainability. 🪲🌱 #DungBeetle #EcoHeroes #NatureLove #Safari #Africa #SafariMoon

A Mrs Miniotaur beetle slowly, slowly moving around the forest floor in the cool morning light. Now seen a matching pair this spring, albeit the sightings being miles apart, for the first time ever. Like the great diving beetle I found the other day, the females have grooves on their wing encasements to make it easier for the males to hold on during rumpy pumpy, but they don’t have the 3 erect protrusions from their bodies like the males do. She does have very feathery feelery ends to her feelers, all the better for finding poo with. Once paired up, a Mr & Mrs Minotaur will jointly dig a tunnel 1.5 metres long (that’s massive for a tiny beetle who doesn’t have a spade) in the sandy soil to keep their egg safe and they pop some dung in there for it to survive on whilst it matures. In order to not act as competition for food when their baby does eventually emerge from the nursery burrow, both parents die soon after they have done their deed securing the next generation of this beautiful dung beetle. This is why they are not often spied in late spring and summer. Amazing Coleoptera 🪲

🪲 PELOTI 💩 (Circellium bacchus) 🇬🇧 Below👇 Puede que no sea uno de los “lifer” más glamurosos de la historia,pero el escarabajo pelotero es uno de mis animales favoritos. Uno que conozco desde que era una niña y que siempre me ha proporcionado buenos ratos y risas durante mi infancia y al que sigo viendo con ojos tiernos aunque preocupados. Estos pequeños depuradores del campo están severamente amenazados. Las causas que los atenazan son muchas, pero es increíblemente desolador ver como los coches (en parques nacionales) les pasan por encima a ellos y a sus pequeñas-grandes pelotitas de deshechos sin ningún tipo de pudor, ya que “son solo bichos”… mientras buscan desde sus coches enormes y caros algún cromo nuevo para su colección. Pocos son los vehículos que se paran a observarlos, se ríen con su reiterativa torpeza rodando colina abajo y regresando para intentar reconquistar su esférica recompensa una y otra vez con una paciencia infinita. Estos increíbles seres saben guiarse a través del corazón de la galaxia, nuestra vía láctea, referencia inmarcesible del cielo envolviendo el planeta. Hace falta aún mucha conciencia para intentar darles el papel que les corresponde a ellos y otros increíbles habitantes a ras de suelo: camaleones, lagartijas, miriápodos, etc… bichitos que parecen invisibles ante los ojos del que no entiende por dónde está conduciendo. No todo son grandes carnívoros o ejemplares dignos de ser “colgados como trofeo”, la labor en la cadena trófica de los seres del suelo es fundamental e imprescindible para los diferentes ecosistemas… parece que nos esforzamos en no querer darnos cuenta. Ojalá la situación cambie y se tomen medidas para dar un justo papel protagonista a los distintos personajes del teatro natural al que asistimos atónitos y en el que tanto privilegio sentimos… naturaleza salvaje en estado puro y a cualquier escala. Mientras tanto, el “dungbeetle” se apaga poco a poco… a veces de manera súbita, bajo el neumático de cualquiera de las decenas de vehículos que no se esfuerzan en esquivarlos...

Dung beetles are important for maintaining the function of pastures 💩 They contribute to important ecological functions, such as nutrient cycling, cattle parasite control and improvement of soil fertility. The decline of dung beetle diversity could lead to the degradation of pasture landscapes. Using pitfall traps with fresh cattle dung, scientists from @unam_mx and @inpa_mcti studied dung beetles in 1995 and again in 2020-2021. They found that the species richness of dung beetles reduced by 40%, with medium- and larger-bodied species being the most sensitive species. They researchers advocate for the inclusion of long-term dung beetle conservation in management plans for livestock production in introduced pastures.

DUNG BEETLES We are pleased to be involved in Dung beetle research being carried out by the Yorkshire Dales National Park. The species we have in the UK don’t roll the dung around as you’d imagine. But they are vital to the ecosystem and cycling of nutrients. As our cows are outside year round their dung should support dung beetles and other insects; which are important food sources for birds such as curlew. Genny from @yorkshiredales and Matt from @yorkshiredalestrust began surveying this week, and pleased to find lots of dung beetle species, including some Geotrupes (in the video) #dungbeetle #cow #yorkshiredalesnationalpark #wildlife #ecosystemrestoration #farminginprotectedlandscapes

What do you see? I almost chose a flower photo instead of crap but I thought "heck Lauren, this is your page, post the crap." So here we are. What do you see? A beetle on crap. A dung beetle precisely. And a question that my professor probably asked us a thousand times on the field course... what do you see? A simple question that beckoned us to poke into various nooks and crannies, get on our knees to look at strange plants, and poopy bugs. What do you see? I'll tell you what I see. A delicate ecosystem, where if you pull on one thread the whole systems follows. Every piece colliding in various strings that looks like that meme of that guy with all his red string on the wall of conspiracy theories. You know the one. Dung beetles are excellent ecosystem cleaners, taking away poop and putting it back into the environment to be used again. Little legends. What do you see is a great question but now I'll ask, what don't you see? What don't you see? And this is a question I frequently ask myself. In science. In nature. In life. What am I not seeing? I ask myself when I interact with other humans. Because what you don't see is as important as what you do see. As humans, we are changing ecosystems and discovering that the things we didn't see, well now they are problems. Small animals, such as this dung beetle, clean the environment and restore vital components back to the soil. If we don't take care of them, we will start to notice their absence. And while yes, if you know me, this long Instagram post was definitely an excuse to post poop, but hopefully it makes you think. Next time you step outside ask yourself... What don't I see? #conservation #dungbeetle #ngphotographerchallenge #natgeo #southafrica @welgevonden_biomonitoring

Constantemente, y a través de muchas personas, escucho la visión de que nosotros científicos tenemos que difundir la ciencia para los grupos no académicos. Hasta la fecha tengo una visión en la cual parcialmente estoy de acuerdo con esta dinámica. Sí es importante que logremos que diferentes grupos sociales se entiendan y comprendan las nuevas tendencias en diferentes realidades del planeta. Hace un par de meses, tuve la fortuna de ser invitado para participar de un evento de divulgación de la ciencia en Iztapalapa, Ciudad de México. En este emocionante día, nuestro grupo de divulgación se enfocó en compartir un poco sobre la importancia de los insectos en las zonas urbanas, rurales y en el bosque. Esta bonita actividad se compartió con niños de 6-12 años de edad (y sus respectivos parientes), en donde jugamos, dibujamos, platicamos y aprendimos juntos. Sí que es linda la difusión de la ciencia, jeje. #dungbeetle #bichos #insects #divulgacioncientifica #difusion #UNAM #CDMX

One of the best parts of African safaris is that no matter how many days you spend out in the bush, you almost always see something new. Last night on an evening boat cruise we saw this crocodile with its snout almost on top of the elephant dung. Little did we know, it was waiting patiently for an itsy bitsy snack #dungbeetle #nilecrocodile #chobenationalpark #botswana #riversafari #africa #capturethewild #natgeoyourshot #africageo #exclusive_wildlife #africanamazing #destinationwild #africa_nature #african_portraits #canonwildlifephotography #Wildlife_perfection

Dung Beetle Photo Shoot. These things were anywhere from 2-3 inches and moved rather quickly. However we didn’t see any camel spiders so I’m ok with my ding beetle friend. #photoshoot #beetle #desertbeetles #dungbeetle #dung #sahara #saharadesert #saharadesert #saharadesertmorocco #bug #bugs #glamping #desertcamping #camping
