Scarab Beetles. "Members of a large family of heavy-bodied, oval beetles with about 30,000 species distributed throughout most of the world. Many scarab beetles are brightly colored and many are iridescent. In Egypt, it was believed that all scarabs were males capable of reproducing their kind. The ball-rolling activities of the sacred scarab were associated with the diurnal movement of the sun. The term scarab is also applied to representations of scarab beetles made of stone, metal, or other materials. Finely carved scarabs were used as seals in ancient Egypt; inscribed scarabs were issued to commemorate important events or buried with mummies. Roman soldiers wore scarab rings as military symbols." |
