Of the 30,000-odd species worldwide, India is home to nearly 3,000 dung beetle species. These scarabs are known to push dung balls 50 times their own weight and are found in all terrestrial ecosystems, except polar regions. Put together this jigsaw to see dung beetles in action now: heyor.ca/mol88Q Photo by Dhritiman Mukherjee #Puzzle #DungBeetle #RoundglassSustain

Give the insects living in your garden a perfect Christmas gift by letting them hibernate and shelter in peace. Leave soil unturned, leaf-litter alone & ground cover untidied. 🐞🐛🐜🎁
