small

of a size that is less than normal or usual.

According to google…

a dung beetle is not only the world’s strongest insect

but also the strongest animal on the planet

compared to body weight.

They can pull 1,141 times their own body weight.

This is the equivalent of an average person

pulling six double-decker buses

full of people.

South African

Dung Beetle

I think our Black Agapanthus would be

better known as Purple Agapanthus.

Black Cockatoos occasionally pay us a visit.

Some

Small, Smaller, Smallest fauna

from Africa.

The Masked Weaver, 11–14.5 cm (4.3–5.7 in) long,

which makes it nearly the same length

as the Scrub Robin.

However, at 35 grams, the Weaver weighs

nearly twice as much.

The Scrub Robin is roughly the same length

as the Weaver, however, at just 17–23 grams

it is the Roboin is the smaller of the two.

The of my images today is the Dung Beetle,

which varies in size from 5mm to 30mm,

or about 0.2 to 1.2 inches.

  Some dung beetles can bury dung 250 times

their own mass in one night.

As always size is relative.

Mother and big baby, with a real baby

added courtesy of Photoshop.

Baby, baby elephant would still weigh

between 100-200 kg (220-440 lbs). 

At birth they weigh around 90 kg/200 pounds

 

An African Dung Beetle.

Agapanthus flowers consist of many smaller flowers.

Bees can still fit inside these smaller flowers,

brushing tiny stamen to ensure pollen

is carried to and received from,

other plants.

No ladybugs this week I’m afraid.
The best I could do was this bee in our garden, and…

 

this Dung Beetle sighted in South Africa.

The first and only one I have seen.
