Not so long ago on one of my early morning walks across the plains I came across a dung beetle sunning itself on the path. He was very obliging and allowed me to inspect him closely from a variety of angles. He also posed very smartly when I pulled out the camera and clicked away. Here are his very fashionable portrait shots. I’m sure that you will agree that he is very handsome. Dung beetles are beautiful from all angles! A few minutes later I found another beetle already hard at work at a fresh cowpat. Well the early ‘bird’… as they say! Thanks to Will and Faye for your kind comments, more soon… 
They are handsome and they appear to be sturdily built. Nice shots.
