I don't know what kind because if well fed and warm, they don't turn into
beetles and once winter comes the hole is still warm until the outside is
cold enough to kill em. I never saw any beetles at all.
All I know is that the larvae were big so it must have been big beetles.
Probably those big ones with the huge pincers that wander around. Maybe
several kinds.
Dig a fairly deep narrow hole, shovel crap into it and keep enough water
in it so it stays semi liquid and the larvae have to come up for air. The
next batch wanting to breathe will submerge the last batch making the whole
thing churn. Flies and eggs don't have a prayer..only a compulsion! I
bet some beetles will find it.
It's too easy.

Hallo Ode,
That is a new one for me. What kind of beetles?. Reason I ask is that my
sister has a dairy farm and in summer the flies are horrific. It would be
really good to have a natural system to deal with the pests.

Back in the old days before I built my house and lived in an old school
bus in the woods I used an outhouse and beetle larvae to totally
eliminate flies. It was pretty gross to look in that hole at the
seething turmoil below...so I didn't look very often.
But
It attracted every fly for miles and not a single one survives the
attempt to lay its eggs.
No flies anywhere.
I learned this from a history of the Egyptian scarob beetle, why they
were sacred...and couldn't kill the larvae for long anyhow.
Now I use an in house flusher and I have flies.
