According to my research, yes they are, because they break down the manure which then fertilizes the soil.
Yes they are - they break down manure and fertilize the soil
actully they are decomposers
While some beetles do carry on activities, such as burying dung, they are not decomposers. Bacteria and fungi are the decomposers. Beetles are simply the 'middleman.'
Many bugs and insects are decomposers that turn dead animals and plants into nutrients, including dung beetles and carrion beetles. Mites and sow bugs are decomposers.
Some of the decomposers in a desert are various beetles, including dung beetles. Millipedes, ants, fungi, bacteria, and earthworms are other decomposers in a desert.
Decomposers found in the Sahara Desert include different types of bacteria and fungi. Other decomposers include termites, moss, dung beetles, and worms.
One decomposes in the Sahara desert is the Dung Beetle. The dung beetles feed on the dung, and roll the dung all the way to their homes for the females to lay in it. I know, their jobs are pretty disgusting.

A common misconception is that the main decomposers in deserts are Dung beetle and termites..... Dung beetles and termites are detritivores which means they feed on dead organic matter (like "dung"). The main decomposers in a desert ecosystem as in any are bacteria and fungi.
yes, dung beetles are ditritivores(we think!!!)
They're called dung beetles for a reason. It's dung.
dung beetles are beetles are beetles that feed partly or exclusively on dung (poop). a dung beetle can carry 250 times as much as they can carry themselves in one night 3 facts on dung beetle 1 dung beetles eat there poop 2 some dung beetles are particular about the poop the eat 3 dung beetles are really good at finding poop
Fungi, bacteria and worms are decomposers found in the desert.
