McCullough emphasizes that dung beetles are crucial for the environment, saying, 'Dung beetles are nature's cleanup crew. They love poop. For us, it's kind of gross.'
She explains the significance of biodiversity in local environments, stating, 'I think people don't appreciate the biodiversity that's right in their backyard.'
McCullough discusses the different types of dung beetles, noting, 'There are the rollers that roll the dung, the dwellers that hang out in the dung, and then there are tunnelers that dig a tunnel underneath the dung pad.'
Her findings highlight the seasonal patterns of dung beetles, where she states, 'I found that they started to emerge in the first half of May. Their numbers peaked in July.'
