A North American common name for the dor beetle or a dung beetle — a large, dark beetle that produces a droning sound in flight. The 'dor' element relates to the humming sound the beetle makes. Used in older naturalist and rural American contexts; not in common contemporary use.
He lay in the grass watching a dorbug trundle past, seemingly oblivious to everything around it.
