Dung beetles occur on every continent except Antarctica. Most of the dung beetles in the world use herbivore dung, and in Africa, elephant dung. Dung beetles can be divided into 3 groups, Rollers, Tunnellers and Dwellers. Without dung beetles, the earth would be piled high with manure.

You can pick up the beetles - they're surprisingly clean and they won't bite! Source/s: The Story of Dairy, Workboot series.
