Those bugs are called scarab beetles and they have an extraordinary shiny armor that can be indifferent colors like green, brown, or even gold. They are small, usually less than 6 inches long, and have strong wings hidden under their hard shell. These beetles are famous for their unusual round shape, which makes them look like a tiny ball.  \nFrom being shaped like a little ball, let's roll into the life of scarab beetles. These little creatures love warm environmentsand you can find them in every continent except Antarctica. Just like us, they go through a life cycle - from being an egg, then a larva, a pupa, and finally, an adult beetle. Believe it or not, most of their life is spent as a larva, munching on a variety of things from plants, fruits, to even animal dung!  \nSpeaking of munching on dung, scarab beetles have an interesting relationship with other animals and even humans. Some types of scarab beetles, called dung beetles, play a big role in the environment by cleaning up animal waste. These beetles roll up the dung into a ball and carry it away to feed their young, which helps in recycling nutrients back into the soil. In ancient Egypt, people admired scarab beetles so much that they made jewelry and amulets in their shape.  \nNow that we've looked at their life and their importance, let's dive into how scarab beetles protect themselves. To avoid predators, these beetles can fly away or hide under the soil. Some scarab beetles have strong jaws which they can use to bite if they feel threatened. So there you have it, the scarab beetles aren't just shiny bugs, they are nature's little cleaners and ancient symbols of transformation.  \nSolve each problem.  \nUse the article to answer the question.  \n1) What is special about scarab beetles in history?  \nA.
