Are Spanish Dung Beetles and Sisyphus Dung Beetles the Same Species

The Spanish Dung Beetle and the Sisyphus Dung Beetle are not the same species. I can provide you with some information about both types of dung beetles.

The Spanish Dung Beetle, the steep slope of its thorax and the horns that grow on its head are the most noticeable and special features on its body. The Spanish dung beetle is relatively small in size, usually only 7-8 millimeters long.

The Sisyphus Dung Beetle, which has an elongated oval body and an extremely smooth back with yellow or gold markings. This dung beetle has an extremely deep triangular protruding portion in the center of its prothorax that resembles a broad arrowhead.

Hopefully, the above information will help you better recognize the two different dung beetles. If there are any other questions, feel free to ask me.
