They break down the manure and fertilizes the tree/grass. So in a way it's decomposing the tree/grass.
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.'
Dung beetles vary significantly in weight depending on the species. Generally, they can weigh anywhere from a few milligrams to around 1 gram, with some larger species, like the African horned dung beetle, weighing up to 30 grams. Their size and weight are influenced by their diet and habitat. Overall, they are small insects, typically ranging from 5 to 15 millimeters in length.

Lions are those predators that are at the top of the food chain and do not have any "first consumers." However, like all animals, they do not live forever, and the first consumer that will prey on a dead lion would be the lavae of flies and beetles, which help break down and decompose the dead carcass.
It was necessary to introduce dung beetles to Australia because the native dung beetles we already had, would only decompose Australian animal poo eg: kangaroo poo. But the introduced dung beetles could decay a wide variety of poo and therefore led us to consider, more of these dung beetles means less waste we would have lying around, and we were correct.
yes, dung beetles are ditritivores(we think!!!)
