Biology. In our study, this species is found associated with horse farms. It is a strictly coprophagous species, clearly preferring horse dung as a larval substrate, although it has also been reared from cow dung; more rarely, adults are attracted to the excrement of other mammals (cow, sheep, rabbit, dog, man), carrion and compost heaps ( Pitkin, 1988).
