Dialogue When Caught

I caught an earth-boring dung beetle! It's not boring at all!

Dialogue When Donated to Blathers

  [red]Earth-boring dung beetles[red] are considered quite handsome by some, thanks to their metallic luster.

 In fact, some even think them to be good omens and bringers of favorable fortune.

 But I must protest! These field-ravaging pests love to burrow under piles of dung and lay their eggs.

 They raise their young under DUNG!

 Need I say more? Ick. I think not.
