Dung beetles primarily feed on feces from various animals, which they use as a food source and breeding ground. They break down the dung, aiding in nutrient recycling in ecosystems. Some species may also consume decaying plant matter or fungi, but their main diet revolves around animal droppings. This diet not only benefits the beetles but also helps improve soil health and aeration.

What do dung bettles eat?

Decomposers like fungi and bacteria break down dead organisms (plants and animals) into simpler substances. They don’t "eat" in the traditional sense like animals do. Instead, they absorb nutrients through chemical processes. If you're talking about animals that eat dead animals, those are called scavengers (like vultures or hyenas), not decomposers. more information: nsda.portal.gov.bd/site/page/92fd3b71-62de-43d9-b291-f80855dab52b
