Operation Beetle

This little guy was flailing about on his back thick with mites. Two paint brushes, pair of scissors and a dental pick later... he was off!
what is he?
I recognised these mites from bumble bees to...ack. I nearly missed the mites without my glasses.

Thanks B.  No I haven't.  I usually keep up with the good Disney's.

Wow that's so nice Helen !!!

Did you watch that movie a Bug's Life ?? Every time I see a beetle I think how it has such a long journey to get to from point A to B...

Thanks Tanya :) I wonder what he is doing in an urban garden.  Maybe he likes the wild composty bits!?

Wow great job.

Think it might be Geotrupes stercorarius or Dor Beetle and like nothing better than a tasty cow pat as its a Dung Beetle.
