Australian dung beetles bury carcasses as living graves
In Australia a species of beetle acts as energetic undertakers by burying decomposing animals. They detect a carcass, tunneling beneath it to hollow out the soil, then cover the grave as the body sinks. Within 24 hours a deep hole forms and the beetles seal the tomb. Females lay eggs in the burial chamber and larvae feed there later.
