The results show that only the mature males impregnate the foodballs with abdominal secretions during rolling. The ct~emical labelling of the ball is a means to attract a female over short distance and after retain it in the nest. 1 aFavila, Mario, E  uhttps://scarabnet.myspecies.info/chemical-labelling-food-ball-during-rolling-males-subsocial-coleopteran-canthon-cyanellus-cyanellus-
