Dung beetles also use other brooding strategies, apart from tunnelling. "Dwellers" brood their larvea inside of the dung and the famous "rollers" form dung balls and roll them away to a safe place.

Dung beetles 🪲 dig tunnels underneath the dung, where they bury brood balls for their larvea to feed on. This is great for the forest soil, since it improves fertilisation and aeration.
