Scarab beetles are insects found in Africa, they are not made!

However, because the scarab beetle emerges out of a dung ball placed in the ground the year before, it was sacred to the ancient Egyptians (because it symbolized resurrection form an entombed mummy) and scarabs were carved into amulets.

Ancient Egyptians also worshiped then because they believed their rolling of the balls of dung had something to do with the sun rising and setting.
