Dung beetles guided by Milky Way   




They may be down in the dirt but it seems dung beetles also have their eyes on the stars. Scientists have shown how the insects will use the Milky Way to orientate themselves as they roll their balls of muck along the ground.

Humans, birds and seals are all known to navigate by the stars. But this could be the first example of an insect doing so.
