If just one child cautiously approaches their parents after watching this video and asks, "can I have pet dung beetles," I've done my job!

Not perhaps the most obvious pet choice but the novelty factor along with the coloration of these beetles makes them a consistent and repeated draw each year for some more independentminded pet keepers. Their primary flight times run from late March through June, and then they tend to be underground the rest of the year completing other portions of the life cycle. Truly living jewels, these scarab beetles range through much of the United States and Mexico, their beauty exceeding or at least rivaling in our eyes everything else in nature. Many people look forward to their emergence again each year, and they are back. Grab yourself a hot steaming cup of your favorite beverage and a Baby Ruth or your other favorite chocolate bar, pop a squat, relax and enjoy this video as I present to you, Phanaeus Rainbow Dung Beetles. Here we provide information about their care as pets and reveal a short documentary on dung beetles in the natural setting.
