Dung beetle

A dung beetle is a moderate-size beetle with a roundish black body and well-developed middle leg segments that it uses for digging. Both adult specimens and larvae mainly feed on ungulates’ dung. Most of these beetles are nocturnal creatures and often they may be attracted by bright light. A dung beetle as bait is mainly used for fishing large fish. Such bait enables catching crucian carp, common carp, bream, ide and tench.
