Phanaeus, the rainbow scarabs, [1] is a genus of true dung beetles in the family Scarabaeidae (scarab beetles), ranging from the United States to northern Argentina, with the highest species richness in Mexico. [2] [3] Depending on species, they can inhabit a wide range of habitats, from tropical to temperate climates and deserts to rainforests.
The beetles feed on the dung of herbivorous animals, especially that of rabbits and small ruminants such as sheep and deer. After mating, the animals dig a vertical tunnel about 1 to 1.5 metres deep in the earth, with several side tunnels stemming from it and which ends in a chamber. Dung is brought into the chamber and is formed into a pellet.
