Abstract
In the summers of 1962 and 1963, 98 bovine manure samples were field collected at Lafayette, Indiana, after they had been exposed to insect oviposition for periods ranging from 1 to 120 hr. The samples were maintained in a greenhouse until all adult insects had emerged. These included 20 secies of Diptera, 15 of Coleoptera, and 3 of parasitic Hymenoptera. Two species of mites were also taken from the manure. As the manure pads were collected, observations were made on the activities of various insect species in and around them, and these are reported here.
