Dung Beetle Additional Info

Dialogue When Caught

I caught a dung beetle! This species likes feces!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  What can I say? The aptly-named dung beetle feeds on the feces of animals. Hoo! You heard right.

 This putrid pest rolls up balls of dung...and then rolls them away to dine on at a later date.

 As if that weren't atrocious enough, some dung beetles lay their eggs in the feces too!

 What a dreadful place to raise the young.
