Teuchestes Fossor
''Teuchestes fossor'' is a species of dung beetle native to the Palaearctic, but is also widespread in North America following accidental introduction and naturalisation during European settlement. Both adults and larvae are coprophagous, differentiating resource use by respectively feeding on the liquid and fibrous fractions of herbivore dung. It can be readily collected from the dung of livestock, and other large mammals This species is known to support a number of key ecosystem services in cattle pastures. ''Teuchestes fossor'' was formerly a member of the genus ''Aphodius''. Appearance ''Adult'' ''Teuchestes fossor'' is a highly convex beetle measuring between in length, and in breadth. The scutellum is long, and reaches more than 20% sutural length. The elytral striae are relatively narrow. The pronotum is densely punctured towards side and front angles. Its typical colour is a uniform glossy black, although it can also rarely occurs in a dark red form where it ma ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Scarabaeidae
The family Scarabaeidae, as currently defined, consists of over 30,000 species of beetles worldwide; they are often called scarabs or scarab beetles. The classification of this family has undergone significant change in recent years. Several subfamilies have been elevated to family rank (e.g., Bolboceratidae, Geotrupidae, Glaresidae, Glaphyridae, Hybosoridae, Ochodaeidae, and Pleocomidae), and some reduced to lower ranks. The subfamilies listed in this article are in accordance with those in Bouchard (2011). Description Scarabs are stout-bodied beetles, many with bright metallic colours, measuring between . They have distinctive, clubbed antenna (biology), antennae composed of plates called lamella (zoology), lamellae that can be compressed into a ball or fanned out like leaves to sense odours. Many species are fossorial, with legs adapted for digging. In some groups males (and sometimes females) have prominent horns on the head and/or pronotum to fight over mates or re ...
