The
genus ''Scathophaga'' are small to medium sized
predatory flies that for the most part, have larvae that feed on other insect larva within animal
dung
Dung most often refers to animal feces. Dung may also refer to:
Science and technology
* Dry animal dung fuel
* Manure
* Cow dung
* Coprolite, fossilized feces
* Dung beetle
Art

or decaying vegetable matter. Many are highly variable, sometimes producing small, infertile males that superficially resemble females. This species is an example of an organism which may selectively store the sperm of multiple males, as females have three to four spermathecae.
