Scarab Dung Beetle

A very close view of the head horns on a male South American scarab dung beetle, Oxysternon conspicillatum. This beetle species is trimorphic, meaning they are able to produce up to three different types of males, with different forms of "weaponry" for use when competing for a mate.
