A brilliant image. It's quite amazing how they make these spheres so perfectly.

Thanks Goosey, it was one of my favourite photos from that holiday. Interesting to know that some dung beetles steal the dung balls from other beetles. This chap was quite possessive of its dung ball when I was moving around the beetle to get the sun shining on it whilst taking the photo.

Yes, that's great. Looks an almost human posture (give or take the odd pair of legs)!

On another look - the shadow could be a scarab run over by an out of control dung ball? His mate is saying OMG, or whatever dung beetles say when stressed?
