The black carpet beetle is a common type of beetle. The scientific name of the black carpet beetle is attagenus unicolor.
The scientific name of the African dung beetle larva is Scarabaeus lamarcki.
Scarabaeoidea
The Latin name for dung beetle is Scarabaeus sacer.
The life cycle of a scarab beetle begins as an egg laid in soil. The egg hatches into a larva called a grub, which feeds on decaying organic matter. The grub then pupates and transforms into an adult scarab beetle, which emerges from the soil. The adult beetle typically mates and lays eggs, completing the cycle.
Dung beetles are a family of beetles. The superfamily is called "Scarabaeoidea".
A dung beetle eats dung.
The life cycle of a dung beetle is said to be complex when compared to ordinary beetles. An adult male and female dung beetle first form a ball, out of dung. The female digs, while the male beetle collects soil in order for a tunnel to be formed. The female lays one egg in each dung ball. The tunnel is then sealed. After a week has passed, the egg hatches and the larva eats the interior contents of the dung ball. In roughly three weeks, the larva will change into a pupa, which is the stage before reaching adulthood. The pupa will then eat its way out of the dung ball in search of fresh food. They will then breed two weeks later, starting the cycle over.
