The name scarab is a nice name for a dung beetle! They hang out in the desert and look for piles of animal poo, which they make into large balls to lay their eggs in. The ancient Egyptians saw them rolling the balls of poo around (they bury them somewhere convenient so the eggs can hatch and the larva eat the dung) and thought that might be the same way the Sun moved across the sky. The scarab then became symbolic of how the Sun moved from East to West, and is why they beetles are often protrayed in Egyptian art with a sun disc close to them. I think there is also some further symbolism about keeping secrets, but hopefully someone else can answer that.
The Scarab was a symbol of Eternity in ancient Egypt. It has represented Immortality, death and rebirth, and longevity.
