a tumblebug

A tumblebug rolls a ball of dung along the path with its hind legs.

The tumblebug is a broad, dull black scarab with a shovel-shaped head and spiny forelegs.  It stands on its front legs and pushes a ball of dung many times its size with its back ones, steering by the light through the canopy. It guards its prize jealously, and will rear up and spread its spiny forelegs at anything that comes too close.
