The Netherlands - Wijk aan Zee
I spent about a quarter of an hour close to a fresh cow dropping, with my camera focused on a bunch of Yellow dung fly (Scathophaga stercoraria-Strontvlieg). There was a lot going on, but above all their main goal appeared to be this. Competition is high and both males and females often mate with multiple partners. © Tom Kisjes

The eggs that the female lays on the dung are wing-shaped and hatch into larvae after 1–2 days, depending on temperature. © Tom Kisjes
