SKETCH-OF-THE-DAY 013


A remarkable and curious species, the Bazaar Dung Beetle of eastern Africa, upon finding a fresh deposit of ungulate dung, will stake an immediate claim, set up a kind of market, and begin pandering rations of balled dung to other dung beetles.  They are the only known insect to use an actual "free enterprise" system and one of only two to use a form of monetary currency.  The other being the Debt Weevil in Honduras which, despite not having any money, will rack up insane charges on multiple high-interest accounts.

  1. Ive heard that the craftier Bazaar Dung Beetles will actually sculpt ungulate poo into the crude form of Linebackers and Cornerbacks for an unspecified patron on the north coast!?

    Someone might actually trip over/outright avoid an ungulate pylon...
