So to introduce myself properly I’m an entomologist/ecologist interested in the biodiversity around pasture grazing livestock both above & below ground but especially in the dung. A farmers daughter & wife I graze 100 acres based around my research, run an education centre & more 
To put no finer point on it there is a high chance of a lot of dung being on this account this week. It’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but it’s something we just can’t get away from & if you have livestock it’s time to get down on your knees & discover a whole new world in that poo
I want you to think of a field as the habitat & that single dung pat as a micro habitat. It’s where the freshly produced dung has landed that the dung beetles can thrive, on bare soil or on grass. Muck heaps change the temp & consistency making it an unsuitable habitat
