Onthophagus Taurus
''Onthophagus taurus'', the taurus scarab, is a species of dung beetle in the genus ''Onthophagus'' and the family Scarabaeidae. Description ''Onthophagus taurus'' can reach a length of . These small beetles are oval shaped, the color is usually black or reddish brown. Sometimes the pronotum has a weak metallic sheen. Males have on the heads a pair of long protrusions or horns (hence the species name) that they use to fight with each other to gain mating rights with females. There are five different locations where the horns can develop: at the back, middle or front of the head, and on the front or side of the thorax. Some males do not have horns, and therefore do not come into the fight, but have larger gonads. A similar dimorphism in males have been found in some other species ('' Ageopsis nigicollis'', '' Podischnus agenor''). This adaption reduces direct competition with horned males. Horns of ''Onthophagus taurus'' lack obvious homology to other insect traits. Hence, they ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
