BEETLES vs. BOTTLES
• One kind of male Australian beetle seeks out the largest female to mate with. An Australian beer manufacturer unwittingly made their beer bottles in the shape and color of the female beetle, albeit at a fantastically large size. When it was brought to their attention that thousands of male beetles were fruitlessly trying to mate with discarded beer bottles, they redesigned the bottle.
DUNG BEETLES
CALL FOR PRICING! 701-314-0177
• Dung beetles carve out a round ball of dung and roll it around where ever they go. The female will lay a single egg inside a dung ball, and, depending on environmental conditions, will either roll the ball into the sun to stay warm, or bury it in the dirt to stay cool so the egg has proper temperatures to develop.
EVIL WEEVILS
• Beetles that have long snouts are called weevils. The snouts are used for sucking sap, which can cause problems for farmers. The boll is the seedpod of a cotton plant. The female boll weevil lays eggs on the boll, and the larvae eat the cotton fibers, destroying as much as 60% of the crop. In Enterprise, Alabama, the weevils destroyed not only the cotton crop but also the entire economy. So farmers began to plant peanuts instead, and found that peanuts earned them more money than cotton. The farmers were so grateful to the weevil for forcing them to try peanuts that they put up a statue. The plaque reads, “In profound appreciation of the Boll Weevil and what it has done as the Herald of Prosperity.”

• Different beetles eat different things: leaves, other bugs, pollen, etc. But some of the most important beetles are the ones that eat dead things or dung. These beetles perform the vital function of recycling garbage, breaking things down into their basic elements so they can be re-used by other plants and animals.
