Anat Pick presented on this work, Convulsion, among others by the video artist Chen Sheinberg.
Here is a dung beetle turned over and struggling a hopelessly long time (at least in human observational terms) to get up-righted.
I'm posting it here because it is a moving piece for thinking the alien-ness of other animals and yet a connectedness (J. M. Coetzee in Lives of Animals calls "imaginative sympathy") with other creatures.
[note, while not in the video, the beetle eventually makes it back on its feet with some human help.]
