Wish I knew what you were looking for.
Might have known what you would find.
And it’s something quite peculiar,
Something that’s shimmering and white.
Leads you here despite your destination,
Under the milky way tonight

If this is true, it may mean that dung beetles travelled all the way here from the Milky Way!!
To: skinkinthegrass
So the meaning of the Universe is sh*t.
Wasn't that a line from Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy?
To: skinkinthegrass
I wonder if the beetles are using a shadow cast by the light to postion - keep the angle, keep the direction? I don’t know how it could be anything else, it would require much more “processing power”.
