 I've read in a few places that Scathophaga stercoraria larvae are predators in dung, but I've also read that they are consumers of dung. Which is correct, please? Or do they do both?

I can no longer send private messages (and maybe not receive?), even though my inbox and outbox are not yet full. I write, click "send" and they disappear and never show up in the outbox.
