Dung beetles These insects were among the most important religious symbols of ancient Egypt. There are almost 2 000 species of dung beetles, many of which are found in Kruger. They break up animal droppings into little balls, roll these away and bury them. Inside the ball, they lay a single egg, and the dung will act as food for the beetle larva when it hatches.
