It takes two... Deltochilum gibbosum - Deltochilum gibbosum
Huntsville, Monte Sano State Park, Primitive Camping Area, Madison County, Alabama, USA
May 30, 2009
The two Deltochilum gibbosum were working together to bring a well formed dung ball across the entrance to camp site 6 in the primitive camping area at Monte Sano State Park, in Huntsville, Alabama. After about 30 minutes they both abandoned the dung ball and headed off in different directions.
