Fighting parasites, refreshing soil and managing manure – are dung beetles the perfect farm animal?
www.abc.net.au
Farmers in Western Australia begin breeding their own stocks of the bugs, which are proving hugely beneficial to farm and animal health.

I love seeing this sort of thing in Farming. Are there any other places where dungbeetles are used as an input to a farm?

What other insects are being introduced to farms? I know of bees (pollination) and ladybirds (pest control)

    Insectary is not a word I have heard before… or even thought would exist!
