ABSTRACT
We describe a new
inexpensive and simple method for marking large dung beetles (>10 mm), which
consists in tattooing a consecutive number on their elytra or pronotum with a
Mototool. The recapture rate (18.5% of 1886 marked individuals) throughout five
months shows high durability of the mark without affecting the integrity of the
individual.
