Dung beetles are rather backwards animals. Firstly, the don't eat normal food, but rather eat the food waste of other animals. Secondly, when they come upon a piece of dung they particularly like, they roll the dung into a ball and walk backwards with it, moving the food to a safe place for storage and feasting 
. They also can use these dung balls as a place to lay larva.
My build uses 99 pieces.
I just love it. Very simple looking but quite an intricate build for the beetle. I can easily recall how silly they look pushing those dungballs backwards

Thank you!! They are a very silly and bizarre animal
I like the large, smooth shapes making up the shell on the back and head and how they contrast with the more intricate appendages. Nice use of textures overall to distinguish different elements of the scene!

Thank you very very much!!! It was a bit tricky getting everything to look good together, and with the beetle being all black I was struggling to make everything appear not as one big black clump, so I'm glad it all worked out!!
