I went for a walk in the Forest over the weekend, and came across what I think must be a pile of blue pooh. How can this be? Well, I think it is the waste matter from a creature that has been eating beetles. There seem to be a lot of beetles about too, several crossed my path on my walk.

I’m not an infallible naturalist, but I think that these are the crushed exoskeletons of beetles that have either been regurgitated or poohed after the yummy insides have been absorbed.

Nature blue in tooth and claw. I couldn’t say who the eater was.
