De rien, =v= !
Over the last couple of weeks, when I arrived home from work early in the evening, I just checked the water tubs that we leave out for the animals and that is where I found all these cool dung beetles. They are wet and perhaps a little slowed by the cold, but otherwise unharmed, i.e. I haven't found any drowned ones to date...
Next, I should try taking pictures of all the staphylinids in there too, but I somehow bet that it would be much tougher to ID them to species...
