Dung beetle courtship

From a collection of courtship rituals posted by TreeHugger:

After male beetles finish gathering up some dung and find a partner to mate with, the pair venture off in search of a good place to bury it – often with the female hitching a ride while the male rolls. Eventually, she lays eggs inside the ball, which will protect and provide food for the growing offspring.
