We know this one sounds unlikely, so bear with us. As it turns out, dung beetles are avid stargazers. In fact, they're completely reliant on the light that comes from our home galaxy in order to exist.
Researchers working in South Africa a few years ago concluded that dung beetles use the bright stripe of light that comes from the center of the Milky Way as the basis of their orientation and rely on it to keep them moving in straight lines - a necessary function for the beetles, who need to collect and move dung as quickly as possible to prevent other beetles from stealing it. The insects have photoreceptors in their eyes which enable them to see forms of light that are beyond human perception, and it's this skill that allows them to pick up on polarized light. Like sailors of old, dung beetles rely on the stars to guide them.
