Onthophagus auritusObserver
jennyghctDescription
A small dung beetle found in dog faeces that is a new one for me. Bush setting with native wildlife inluding maropods, wombats and small mammals. No livestock, but cattle graze a paddock approx 500m away. I expect is may be one of the many native dung beetles.
