 Neotropical Entomology - Succession of Scarabaeidae on bovine dung in Itumbiara, Goiás, Brazil   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
The Scarabaeidae (Coleoptera) are generally coprophagous and inhabitants of excrements, where larvae and adults feed.
The objective of the present research work was to study the succession of the Scarabaeidae that occur on field exposed bovine dung pads, which are naturally visited by coprophagous species during periods of one to ten days on a pasture area in Itumbiara County, State of Goiás, Central Brazil.
According to the results achieved until the moment, it is possible to conclude that the most intense action of Scarabaeidae occurred in the fresher bovine fecal pads (Table 2) with one or two days of field exposure.

In terms of the character of the ranges and of origin, the Kuril Scarabaeidae fall into five groups: the Transpalaearctic, the Eastern Siberian, the Manchurian, the Island, and the Sino-Ussuri-Japanese.
The third and the fourth groups make up the principal nucleus of the fauna; the rest play a secondary role, and are very rare on the Kurils.

The behaviors and ecologies of kleptoparasitic Diptera are reviewed with special attention paid to the adaptations of Sphaeroceridae phoretic upon Scarabaeidae.
The mating systems of kleptoparasitic flies are influenced by the type of resource that is stolen; flies associated with predators are mostly female, while those found on scarabs are of both sexes.
In this examination of thievery and phoresy we first review the various forms of kleptoparasitism, and make a distinction between flies that feed upon the resources of the host (adult kleptoparasites) and those who put their offspring in a position to steal (larval kleptoparasites).

Before delving into the history of worship surrounding the "Sacred Scarab", it should be noted that there are many kinds of Scarab Beetles - perhaps as many as 30,000 species.
The name “Scarab Beetle” is an appellation that defines a group of beetles known scientifically as the family Scarabaeidae, a huge family which is further divided into many subfamilies.
The four subfamilies that draw the most attention are Cetoniinae (The Flower Beetles), Dynastinae (The Rhinoceros Beetles), Rutelinae (The Shining Leaf-chafers), and the much-celebrated
