[QUOTE="Jeanne - Simme Valley, post: 757879, member: 968"] I was always envious of others talking about their dung beetles, thinking we didn't have any. Last year, we had a "bug walk" and the entomoligist found lots of them. Ours are just very small - most being like 1/4 inch some even smaller. But, they drill the heck out of the piles. A very "popular" dewormer used to claim to be the "only" dewormer that didn't affect/kill dung beetles. That was proven wrong and they are not supposed to claim that any more. If you put a dung beetle in any dewormer (I mean like drown him) yes, it will die. But deworming cattle & having the dung beetle eat the cow paddy does NOT kill the beetle. [/QUOTE]
