Dung Beetle: Astrological Navigation

The dung beetle stands out for its celestial sense of direction. At night, some species use the light from the stars of the Milky Way to guide their travels, rolling dung balls in a perfectly straight line—even in total darkness. This unique adaptation allows them to efficiently escape competition and predators. Their ability to navigate using the stars is rare in the animal kingdom and showcases the wonders of insect intelligence.
