I find it best to go to the valcano on rag me and my tribe mate we’re able to tame about ten dung beetles there. I recommend bringing a Phiomia And some stimberries for quick poop. It can get a bit dangerous so also bring something with strength personally I just brought a wyvern and it worked fine.

Found in dark biome on ragnarock

How to Tame a dung Beetle:

-go to the lower south cave and take a good Tame for protecting yourself and Try to find One.

- After you find it, take enough poop to Tame it and Feed it passively.

And you got yourself a Beetle :0

Utility: the Beetle is a better version of the composting Bin, just put any type of Poop (i prefer large Poop) and send it wandering then it will create fertilizer and oil anytime soon

Thanks for Reading.

On Ragnorak you can find them in the volcano biome beside the highlands . Very easy tame just use a couple of spoiled meats or dung. They have to be on wander to produce fertilizer, i keep mine in my greenhouse.

These bad bois are COMPOST MAKING MACHINES. They are a far better substitute for compost bins. Just keep upgrading weight and you’re good. You’ll eventually have a limitless supply of compost for your everyday farming needs

Players can pick up the dung beetle THEN ride a Pteranodon for safe transport. Tried and tested on November 23rd 2017 at 12:35 a.m.

On Crystal Isles these guys spawn next to the big termite nests in the central-southern region of the map. This is by far the easiest way to get them, as you don’t have to deal with any other cave creatures.

Accurate tip for taming these cuties :

1. Craft Bug repellent

2. Use a baryonyx to enter Lower south cave

3. If you want you can also sneak by them. Use baryonyx to kill scorpions cuz Bug repellent doesn't work on them.

4. Feed the dung beetle medium animal feces cuz it takes only 50 seconds

5. Carry it outside.

You got a dung beetle! -spoopy_190YT

On mobile you can kill one take its implant and revive it to tame safely

(Do not harvest body until after grabbing implant)

PC players on Lost island- I found one really quickly in the estuary swamps down the way from the redwoods castle. Once you have one or a few they will make compost bins obsolete as they make compost way faster and added bonus of oil. It was surprisingly docile in those trees too. I’m always nervous to got down in heavy tree cover cuz I’m a scaredy cat and care way too much about my Dino’s but I just landed on my argy and walked around down there on the litter islands the slitting rivers make on their way to the ocean and found in almost immediately. Also on the north east side of that river there a small shallow pond where hecka Ovid spawn for me. Enjoy.

For mobile and PC both ARK

Just tame a dire wolf or saber tooth

Head to lower south cave (hunter cave ) or swamp cave (immune cave )

Kill all the creatures (except dung beetle[s])

Feed it spoiled meat ( but animal faces is more preferred) (don’t use massive animal feces)

Once tamed carry it and ride your dino

Safely reach your base

In Valguero I saw some of them on the bottom of a dragon nest along with Titanoboa's too and I believe Mantis too (don't remember too well) anyways I only found out because sadly ice dragons are gigantic jerks and froze me at the same time that my pteranodon ran out of stamina as I started to descend down to the lava I spotted the dung beetles before dying and losing my stuff. So if you have strong tames head to the snow zone and it should be around the edge of the top right side of your map once you see the ice dragons flying around there nest shouldn't be too far fly down and it should be there.

Literally my favorite creature in all of ark. They’re cute and resourceful.

its a good fertilizer and oil colector also collect meat and hide when kill. like to blow.....

Do they Attack or not? Someone plz answer

If you want them to make fertilizer but don't want them to wonder off everywhere just encumber them and just keep them stocked up

On Valguero, these can be found within the Wyvern Trench in the northeast of the map. Go to the bottom of the trench's eastmost side to see a river of lava flowing into a cave. You'll find dung beetles in there, along with arthropleura, pulmonoscorpius, mantids, and araneomorphus. Visibility in the cave is low, so I recommend using first person while on your mount inside and maybe turning up the gamma. It is extremely easy to kill one of these while fighting other creatures in the cave, but if you spot one before you get to fighting, you can try to avoid it until you're done. I highly recommend getting a wyvern to help you do this beforehand, due to the dangerous nature of the area. They will help you avoid wyverns on the way in and out (which are territorial and may pursue you, and you can either defeat them or outrun them) and they will also help you in the cave. As long as you are mounted on a wyvern, arthropleura, pulmonoscorpius, mantids, and araneomorphus will not attack you, until you start attacking them. The minute you dismount, they will come for you, so you can use this to your advantage to defeat them and/or lead them away from the dung beetle you want. You can hold a tamed dung beetle while flying the wyvern. :) Good luck and happy hunting.

Place in cage and set to wander. If you do not do this they will escape whatever enclosure you have them in.

Great for fertilizer collecting.

I wonder why this guy isn’t part of the top 5 on the list... seems fair though but they generate enough oil for days as long as you supply them with poop... they basically are a safer and easy way to gather oil.
