In Ancient Egyptian religion, the dung beetle now known as " Scarabaeus sacer " ( formerly " Ateuchus sacer " ) was revered as sacred, as Charles Darwin noted in " On the Origin of Species ", describing the genus " Ateuchus " as the " sacred beetle of the Egyptians . " To them, the insect was a symbol of Khepri, the early morning manifestation of the sun god Ra, from an analogy between the beetle's behaviour of rolling a ball of dung across the ground and Khepri's task of rolling the sun across the sky.
