The Dor Beetle, also called the “lousy watchman”. Small goldish yellow mites often cling to its underparts like stowaways. Scientists have several theories about this: Some think the mites are parasites feeding on the beetle’s body fluids. Others reckon that the mites use the dor beetle as a taxi to move from dry feces to new and fresh feces. #swipeleft to see the mites and the beautiful colours on the underside of this fascinating beetle #beetles #lousywatchman #dorbeetle #nature #wildlife #wildlifelovers https://www.instagram.com/p/CiXDFN-o1OV/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
