Australian livestock, such as sheep and cattle, produce about 80 million tonnes of dung a year, which can take months to break down and lead to inefficient grazing of large portions of pastures.

But the faeces-eating beetle's work is estimated to contribute more than $1 billion in environmental and economic benefits each year.
