The Houseguest’s Encyclopedic List of Dung Beetle Facts

On November 29, 2018January 23, 2021 By Sean D. LaytonIn Houseguest, Humor3 Comments

About Sean Layton

Born in the UK, I have lived most of my life under the blazing Arizona sun. Okay, that’s a lie, I’ve been sheltering in the air-conditioned indoors. Anyway, I’m a starving writer with an MFA in creative writing (screenwriting & fiction) from ASU.

After attempting to amuse my friends for years with Facebook posts, I decided to make my tales of woe and musings on life in my tiny universe available online for an even larger audience to ignore (at their own peril).

If you enjoy what you read here, be sure to follow and share!

What others call poor decision making, I call teachable moments.

Now step back a safe distance and watch and learn.
