more dung

[Jim Mason]

By the way having been involved with lepidoptera for 45 years I have never
observed butterflies on carrion or dung. I know it happens but seems more
relate to the tropics?

I commonly see male blues on fresh horse droppings in the springtime.
Sometimes the "road apple" will be positively festooned with them!
