Beetles gravediggers are the best orderlies in the animal world, they bury corpses of small animals and turn the bodies of dead animals into food for their offspring.
These are large beetles 1-4 centimeters long. They have a big head with a mustache, thanks to them the beetles can detect carrion, which is hundreds of meters away from them. Under the dead animals dig a hole into which the animal falls. Then the female beetle digs another pit for its offspring next to it. He lays eggs in the pit. The larvae hatch and eat next to them.
