Método para marcar escarabajos coprófagos (Coleoptera: Scarabaeinae) y su implementación en los Andes de Colombia

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.
