Sažetak
Research into the scarab beetle (Scarabaeoidae) fauna was done in Kopač- ki rit Nature Park, one of the largest semi- natural floodplains in Europe. Research was conducted at three sampling sites: Tikveš Forest, Vemeljski Dunavac, and Sakadaš Lake, in the time periods July to November 2010 and April to July 2011. Continual sampling was done using the Barber pitfall trap method with attractants and the Flight Interception Trap (FIT) method. Animal excrement, pork liver, bananas and mushrooms were used as attractants. In total 1896 specimens were trapped and the presence of 23 species was determined. The most abundant species were: Onthophagus coenobita (554), Sisyphus schaefferi (478), Onthophagus verticicornis (291), and Onthophagus vacca (243). A larger number of specimens (70.3 %) were sampled using Barber pitfall traps, with excrement and pork liver attracting 81.7 % of individual insects.
