Ancient Egyptians associated Khepri, an aspect of Ra (the sun god), with the scarab beetle. Scarab beetles roll balls of dung across the ground, and Egyptians saw this as symbolic of Khepri rolling the sun across the sky each day. Cobras were associated with Wadjet, falcons with Horus, and cats with Bastet - none associated with the sun's movement.
