It is not dirt that it roles it is animal dung. Hence it is called "The Dung Beetle" it may also be call a Scarab Beetle.
The dung ball is buried in the ground and used as a food source for the beetle's young which emerges a long time later. This has resonance with the entombment of a mummy and its afterlife - hence the Scarab was sacred to the ancient Egyptians.
