Thorectes lusitanicus
Species of beetle
Thorectes lusitanicus is a medium-sized dung beetle ranging from 30-175 mg in dry body weight. It is flightless with strong mandibles that allow it to exploit dry dung. It is native to the southern Iberian Peninsula. It is a tunneller that builds shallow tunnels several meters from the site of a dung deposition and transports the dung into the tunnel. Once the dung is in the tunnel, females of this species lay their eggs within it.
