Dung Beetles can grab you some serious bells and you can live a rich, luxurious life on your island if you catch a lot of them. But they are even trickier than Blue Weevil Beetle (the guide for which is here) and they have a strange requirement, spawning only in winters. So here is every bit of information we have.

now when you are in the right month, you will have to look for snowballs. Yes, you heard it right, find snowballs in the snow period, they appear in the middle of the road. If there is a snowball to push around the map, the Dung Beetle will spawn. Some of them will be pushed around by these pesky Dung Beetles and you need to catch them quickly. It is better than the alternatives of what pushes around the snowballs. They can be a little hard to catch but won’t make a run for it if you miss.
