Obviously not a dung beetle. From the Wiki links.

@hqwebsite: I didn't know the adults ate eucalyptus leaves.... until today. ------ Christmas beetle babies are c-shaped grubs that spend a whole year growing up in small chambers just underneath the surface of the soil. They eat plant roots and decaying organic matter, so keep your grass well nourished and mulch your garden regularly to provide plenty of baby Christmas beetle food. The larvae hatch at the end of Spring, which is why you will see the adults around just before Christmas, depending on the weather. Thunderstorms can encourage lots of beetles to the surface, but dry years may mean you don’t see many at all. Adult Christmas beetles love to eat the leaves right at the top of Eucalyptus trees. Preserving your local native eucalypts and planting a few in your garden provides a smorgasbord for the annual Christmas beetle gathering.

@hqwebsite: And they have tree climbing feet, not shit digging and rolling feet.
