Rainbow Scarab

Rainbow Scarabs (Phanaeus vindex) are found in the southern United States, Mexico, and Central America. They inhabit a variety of ecosystems, including forests and grasslands. These beetles primarily feed on dung, playing a crucial role in ecological processes by helping to break down and recycle organic matter. By burying dung and creating tunnels, they also contribute to aeration of the soil.
