Peltotrupes profundus, the Florida Deep-digger scarab beetle, is so named because of an unbelievable feat: the beetle, smaller than your thumb, digs a burrow up to ten feet down in the sand, in which to lay one egg. This is the first known video documentation of the process. Except for a taxonomic study in the 1950's, very little research has been done on these bugs. This project will change that.
