What is the life cycle of a scarab beetle?

Answer 1

The scarab egg is laid in a ball of dung secure in a chamber dug by the parent beetles. The larvae develops and grows eating the dung until reaching the pupa stage. Then it emerges from the ground as an adult beetle.

Answer 2

The life cycle of a scarab beetle begins as an egg laid in soil. The egg hatches into a larva called a grub, which feeds on decaying organic matter. The grub then pupates and transforms into an adult scarab beetle, which emerges from the soil. The adult beetle typically mates and lays eggs, completing the cycle.
