Dung beetles are nothing if not tenacious, and for an animal that the ancient Egyptians thought so powerful that it rolled the sun around the Earth, this is a temporary setback, not a crisis.

The termite mound might be a magnificent testament to insect social housing, but in some ways, it's more like a pinball machine.
