Aphodius fossor
A large Dung Beetle, Aphodius fossor was found to be a common species on Penny Pasture Common at Eakring during August 2008. Both males and females were found, with the female being larger than the male at around 13mm in length. Generally shiny black in colour and quite distinctive to ID, purely on size and colour alone.
