When I lived in NE Montana, my fenced "yard" was an acre or so of mostly natural pasture, with Russian Crested wheatgrass planted in it. We didn't mow for the most part, grazed the horses in there sometimes, and the dogs were in the yard most of the time. When they pooped, there were these little dung beetles that started making use of their poos within minutes. The beetles couldn't really keep up with 7 dogs, but they did help with any poos I didn't get scooped.
Here in WY, my yard is in town. I have 3 dogs, no dung beetles. Hmm.
Can anyone tell me why I have no beetles here? I scoop every day and have never seen any evidence of insect interest in the poos.
