Thanks for both of these @Beetle guy - We are all very excited to have you reviewing again!

Could you please clarify something? When the first promo pics of the Dung Beetles came out, you indicated the dark 'roller' was Scarabaeus sacer? Is it actually a Kheper now? Thanks! P.S....mine are in the mail and I should have them this week!

I will try to figure it out. The paper with the figurines says Kepher sp. but that may be because there are different colours. I will add my findings to the review.

I think we need a category for hedgehogs, moles, shrews, and kin. I could not find one.

But the category name excludes selenodons! In case anyone ever makes one.

Category names can only be so long, otherwise the dropdown option for the Categories on the left affects the display of the posts on the main page. The category can still be used if a selenodont is ever made ;-)

I'm still used to calling them insectivora but that's not accurate anymore.

Yeah, turns out Linnean groups aren't great for actual relationships.

Yup, but there are plenty of holdouts that will gladly argue with ya about it.
