Yesterday, there were almost 130 comments on FA. Today, a whole lot less. I guess elbow macaroni vs a dung beetle calling DIBS on a some dung is no contest.
The results, published in Biotropica, suggest that—in lowland Brazilian forests, at least—dung beetles of all sorts are particularly fond of human waste, and much less interested in the dung of the animals native to their ecosystems.

Oh good. They are using the sanitary handling implements. I hate it when they get their filthy fingers all over it.

…the poop bag is a part of my daily life…
…almost every hoodie and/or jacket has a roll…
…I also have a ballcap with a flashlight type device in its bill…
…and a winter cap with a similar device planted in it…
…yes, I am a dog walker…
…my cocker spaniel & I are part of the informal dog walking society in my town…
…see another member…
…cross the street…
…or go the other way…
… I do not let my dog go in other people’s yards…
…but always have her use the medium strip…
…I once got a Christmas card from my next door neighbor…
…"Merry Christmas and if I ever catch you letting your dog poop on our medium strip…
…or anyone else’s…
…I will call the cops and throw the crap against the side of your house…
…and throw poisoned tidbits out on my sidewalk…
…we hope your holiday season is a joyous one…
…the fact that I always carry baggies and always clean up…
…made me wonder if she really meant for me to have a joyous holiday…
…and the fact that she has caged wolves next store that howl all hours of every night…
…well cross them off our Christmas cd list this year…
…no, just won’t give them one with a hard cd case…
…that’ll show ’em…

The lowly Dung Beetle, or elevated Scarab, has a natural claim. I must say, I find s fight over a Piece of Sh*t to be unseemly.
In every case, scatological humor is problematic. Also likely odoriferous.
Yield to the beetle! Its hunger is unlimited! Help prevent plastic pollution!

It was a crime, when all Dung Beetles fart at the same time.
