They turn Pyromane poop turns into charcoal.

Crop boxes are stackable on top each other on ASA. I put this tip here as these guys go with crops. I stacked 5 medium crop boxes on top each other and they are all growing crops in each one. Small crop boxes are working also. Haven’t tested large yet. I’m assuming they work as well.

Center: in caves

Island: in caves / carno island

Scorched: in the dunes

When taming you can use a grappling hook to bring them to a safe place.

Crawl up and feed it poop, but don't stand up, because they see you and attack. So crawl up, feed, crawl back. Keep doing this and soon it will be tamed.

If you wish to find these, look hard in the south cave. There is bound to be one there

Upgrade melee for range. Weight is useless . It will still collect poop and blackbox

They can destroy wooden structures. I was in the east underwatercave for deep SEA loot and Had a 1x1 wooden House with a bed. I had No weapon and so a lvl 200 dungbeatle Killed me nearly, Destroyer my bed and my foundation not what i expected.

While spoiled meat seems the easy way to go for taming, if you want to be more effective, poop is the way… easy way to get a load of fresh excrement for your beetle ? Just take a tame with you… and feed them lots of stimberries ! At the cost of your pets intestines, they shall have a new friend soon :)

On Abberation you can set them on wandering and have a karkinos hold them and it still turns poop into fertilizer.

It’s a small tip but it might help some :)

I have only seen these in caves so far but they are useful for fertiliser when you are growing crops and Plants Species X etc.

The dung beetles are often found in caves and around swamps

On Extinction you can find them in the south-east of the sanctuary.

I just used bug repellent and I tamed the dung beetle easy using spoiled meat and just walked out of the cave with holding the dung beetle then flew away on my Argie back home. I called him horn and he lives in a nice home.

I am shocked that these tiny things can't be carried by a pteranodon

Their food of choice is Spoiled Meat like if this helps so others know.

Best way to tame these guys is get as much rotten meat as possible and go find em, once found, try to take out all nearby bad animals and start feedin’. Up if u thought this was useful. ;)

these are amazing, i made an island for them, they love it!!

For Ark Mobile: When filling their inventory with poop, temporarily put a weight collar on them. You’ll be able to fill them up with more poop than usual. When you’re done, make sure to take the collar off. The beetle will still be able to make fertilizer and oil even though they are encumbered.

You can’t feed beetles titanosaur poop. So best is diplo or bronto poop. Go in a cave with bug repellent and a raptor (a strong one). You can go to the hunter’s cave because it is the easiest cave and megalosaurus won’t spawn there nor will centipedes spawn a lot in the there. If you are far away, bring Argentavis to carry the raptor and pick up the beetle yourself. If your lvl is too low well I guess you’re gonna need to travel all the way back on raptor-back. Again.

After you tame a dung beetle, you can throw it in a cage on wonder. That way they don't get in the way.

If your playing on the lost island you can find some in the swamp
