I think cattle is excluded by fences from this part of the area. In support of this, there was no discernible evidence (like hair on bark) of cattle having sheltered there. Anyway, this female was not ovipositing in dung, but in soil! Even if it were soil fertilized by cow dung, my observation does not fit the picture described by Stubbs and Drake.
