For example the <A HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scathophaga_stercoraria" REL="nofollow">English wikipedia article</A> states that adults mosty predate on smaller insects. The <A HREF="http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gelbe_Dungfliege" REL="nofollow">German wikipedia article</A> states that adults visit flowers and only occasionally prey on other insects.Takahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15828370335224124590noreply@blogger.com
