Gregor is a dung beetle so I have done some research on them just to see how they live and how we can reflect this in his room
Three different types of nest building
rollers - Collect the dung by rolling in to a ball and moving it to a suitable location, female dung beetles lay there eggs in the dung.
tunnellers - consume the dung pat and burrow into the soil beneath the pat
dwellers - Live in dung
A typical dung beetle has a grooved shell which is in two parts, It had big strong front limbs for digging and fighting, there back legs are long to help them hold onto the dung balls whilst rolling, they also have wings which are folded under hard wing covers.
