How do dung beetles mate?

The female dug a tunnel under the feces and piled up some food in it. The male enters the tunnel and is responsible for guarding the door. if any other male dares to come in, the male will greet each other with a head hammer and push. Generally speaking, it is the dung beetle with the largest body and the largest horn on its head that gets the mating right in the end.

Other smaller, hornless male dung beetles have come up with a clever way of digging a tunnel nearby, bypassing the gatekeeper, sneaking up to the female and inadvertently mating with the female. Interestingly, these small dung beetles have more sperm and are more likely to be fathers.

In addition to these general sexual behaviors, after the male dung beetle inserts the sexual organ into the female sexual organ, he leaves a sperm bag called the penis in the female's birth canal, and the female then puts the fertilized eggs into a hatching ball made of feces.

Shit pusher:

The shit pusher doesn't dig a hole, and the male pushes it with a ball of feces, and if the female likes it, she jumps on the dung ball and hitchhikes. After the male pushes the dung ball to the ideal place, he begins to play with the map to prevent other males from pushing the dung ball away or even throwing it somewhere else.

Once the right location is found, the couple will bury the dung ball in the soft soil, and the two shit pushers will begin to mate, mate and lay the fertilized egg in the dung ball.

Shit guy:

This kind of dung beetle is the laziest. After the fertilized eggs are wrapped in hatching balls, they are directly buried in fresh feces or hidden under the feces.

Each fertilized egg is wrapped in a hatching ball made of feces. Some larger dung beetles produce only 1-2 offspring a year, while others produce dozens of offspring a year. In some cases, females even live in feces to take care of the larvae to hatch.

1. Paralysis: dung beetle toxin was tested on neuromuscular specimens of toads. It can be seen that it has a paralytic effect.

two。 Inhibition of heart: intravenous injection of dung beetle toxin in rabbits, blood pressure first decreased and then increased, respiratory amplitude increased, frequency increased, and had an inhibitory effect on the isolated heart of toad.

3. Inhibition of smooth muscle: it can inhibit the intestines and uterus of rabbits.

4. Toxic effect: dung beetle toxin was injected into mice and became restless and unhappy, and died of spasms tens of minutes later.

5.
