Aphodius sphacelatus
Aphodius sphacelatus is a common UK species and often found in large numbers where it occurs. The species is typical of most Dung Beetles, in that females are slightly larger than the males. Sizes of the ones we found at Nettleworth Manor in early March 2009, ranged from 4.5 - 5.5mm. A. sphacelatus is typically a Spring species.
