Die miskruier is 'n soort kewer wat bekend is daarvoor dat hy mis in ronde balletjies rol, rondstoot en begrawe, asook sy geneigdheid om eiers in dieremis te lê.

Miskruiers word in die familie Scarabaeidae geklassifiseer, wat meer as 20 000 spesies in verskeie genera bevat, insluitend die Afrika-genus Goliathus, die grootste en swaarste van die kewers. Miskruiers leef in verskeie habitats, insluitend woestyn, plaasland, woude en graslande. Hulle hou nie van uiters koue of droë weer nie, en kom dus voor op alle kontinente behalwe Antarktika.

Die miskruier se dieet bestaan hoofsaaklik uit mis. Hulle vreet mis van 'n verskeidenheid diere, solank as die dier 'n herbivoor is. Miskruiers vreet ook sampioene, blare en ander ontbindende materiaal. Miskruiers hoef nie enigiets anders te vreet nie, omdat die mis al die benodigde voedingstowwe bevat; hulle hoef nie eens water te drink nie.

Die miskruier se lyf bestaan uit 'n kop, abdomen en toraks. Hulle het bene, geleë op die toraks, wat gespesialiseerd is vir die grawe van mis en die rondrol daarvan.

Die miskruier het 'n volledige metamorfose. Die vroulike kewer lê 'n eier in 'n misbal wat dan begrawe word om dit van erosie en diere te beskerm. Tydens die larwestadium vreet die kewer die mis waarin hy begrawe is.

Die kewers van antieke Egipte

'n Skarabee, uitgebeeld in die grafkelder KV6 in die Vallei van die Konings

Skarabees of heilige kewers was prominent in Egiptiese mitologie en kuns.

Die kewer is as heilig geag deur antieke Egiptenare omdat hulle geglo het die kewers, deurdat hulle mis rondrol, na-aap die god Ra – of sy voorstelling, Chepri, self 'n kewer – soos hulle die son deur die lug elke dag rondrol. Omdat die kewer boonop sy eiers in dieremis en die karkasse van dooie diere begrawe, is dit ook verbind met hergeboorte, hernuwing en opstanding; daarom is dit ook beskou as 'n teken van lewe en hergeboorte.

Seëls van antieke Juda is ook op kleipotte gestempel wat moontlik offerandes bevat het. Agt verskillende viervlerkige kewerikoons het moontlik die opstanding aan aanbidders voorgestel (Grena, 2004, pp. 371-2).

Steenkewers is gereeld in Egiptiese graftombes geplaas as 'n teken van die oorledene se hergeboorte in die hiernamaals, en juwele met die kewer is gereeld ook in die tombes gevind. 'n Keweramulet is bo-oor die hart gedra as 'n vervangingshart in die hiernamaals – die regte hart is verwyder tydens die mummifikasieproses. Lewende Egiptenare het ook steenkewers gedra as beskermingsimbool in hierdie lewe en die opvolgende.
