I thought I had Rainbow Scarabs but when it got identified I have its cousin that has no common name. I have Phanaeus difformis. Just doesn’t sound as cute or pretty. Was told they are hard to tell apart. Guess I will call it Rainbow Scarab Cousin.
I actually know about the two hard to tell apart species. However please note that I didn’t mention the scientific name because I was not about to look at them that close while they played in the poop. So I was just loosely using the name. 🤷🏻♀️
Good shit 🙂
Wow Suzanne. Thats a great video. Thanks for sharing.
What a poopy day!
What a wonderful video of the bees & shooting stars!
You’re welcome – I agree it’s a great video. And I’d love to visit that prairie in Wisconsin where it was recorded!
Great video of my fave bug, the rainbow scarab.

A little too hands on? Do you think the poop piles might be hog? Especially the one with “waving to me” on the caption and the wet pile?
More than I wanted to do with poo. ;-). About the hog…not sure. The wet pile didn’t seem hog like at all to me.
