LASI V: Biological Interlude #3
Posted by Evelyn Mervine
More geology posts about the LASI V workshop are coming, but meanwhile here’s another biological interlude. One day during the Karoo field trip, we spotted a dung beetle. Dung beetles are pretty neat little critters, actually. And they can move balls of dung remarkably quickly!
