Description
Trypocopris pyrenaeus can reach a length of 12–26 millimetres (0.47–1.02 in).[3] These beetles are blackish, with green, blue and violet glare. The elytra are shiny and rather smooth, without any striae. The dark elytra show no infrared reflectance.[4] The pronotum is a little punctured.[5]
Biology
Adults can be found from spring to summer. These beetles are coprophagus, occasionally mycophagous.[3] They usually carry to the nest portions of animal droppings, on which the females will deposit the eggs.[6]
