Dung Beetles orient via milky way!

Dung Beetles use Milky Way for orientation! First time seen in any animal http://bit.ly/VMJO2p

Up in the Sierras when I let my horse decide where we were going I often used that spectacular band of jewels to stay reoriented. Much more obvious than the big dipper and Polaris. I can easily understand how the beetles, and most likely others animals, would use it.
