Did you ever see a bug that could tumble? The tumblebug can!
“Tumblebug” is the name of a beetle that has the peculiar habit of rolling balls of dung (manure) along the ground. It gets its name from the fact that it often tumbles as it rolls these large balls.
Tumblebug, also called “dung beetle”, can be found living in many parts of the world.
They are members of the famous scarab beetle family, sacred symbols to the ancient Egyptians.
The tumblebug carves out a mass of fresh dung and rolls it into a perfect ball.
Then, standing on it head with its hind feet on the ball, the tumblebug rolls the ball to a place of safety.
When it finds a suitable spot, it digs a hole and rolls the ball into the note.
It may eat the ball, or it may lay an egg in it and bury it.
The dung serves as food for the baby tumblebug that hatches from the egg.– Dick Rogers

I’m new to developing websites and I was wondering if having your site title related to your content really that vital? I notice your title, “What is a tumblebug? Natural World of Living Things ” does seem to be spot on with what your blog is about but yet, I prefer to keep my title less content descriptive and based more around site branding. Would you think this is a good idea or bad idea? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hey there! I was curious to know if setting up a site such your own: https://mindjourney1962.wordpress.com/2009/07/03/613/ is difficult to do for inexperienced people? I’ve been hoping to create my own website for a while now but have been turned off mainly because I’ve always believed it demanded tons of work. What do you think? Thanks alot 🙂

Exploring reddit.com I noticed your website bookmarked as: What is a tumblebug? Natural World of Living Things. Now i’m assuming you book-marked it yourself and wanted to ask if social book-marking gets you a bunch of targeted visitors? I’ve been contemplating doing some book-marking for a few of my websites but wasn’t sure if it would generate any positive results. Many thanks.
