Dung beetles, Hymenoptera, Cockchafers...they all are a yummy part of the diet of 

the GREATER HORSESHOE BAT (Rhinolophus ferrumequinum).

"Diet and hunting

The species feeds preferentially on lepidoptera (moths), making up around 41% of the diet^[13] - in particular the noctuidae species ^[14],Coleoptera (beetles) constitute around 33% of the diet^[13], of which dung beetles are often taken[.] Aphodius rufipes is one such dung beetle forming an especially important part of its diet. Cow pats are part of its life cycle, acting as food source and habitat for the larvae. Up to 100 larvae can be found in a single cow pat. The beetle is most abundant in August when the young bats begin their first feeeding flights).^[15] The remainder of the diet being Hymenoptera and Diptera.^[13] Cockchafers also form an important part of its diet."

"The greater horseshoe bat is the largest bat in Europe.^[5] It has a distinctive noseleaf, which has a pointed upper part and a horseshoe shaped lower part.^[6] Its horseshoe noseleaf helps to focus the ultrasound it uses to 'see'. "

"Dryas octopetala (common names include mountain avens, white dryas, and white dryad) is an arctic-alpine flowering plant in the family Rosaceae. It is a small prostrate evergreen subshrub forming large colonies, and is a popular flower in rock gardens. The specific epithet octopetaladerives from the Greek octo (eight) and petalon (petal), referring to the eight petals of the flower, an unusual number in the Rosaceae, where five is the normal number. However flowers with up to 16 petals also occur naturally" .http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dryas_octopetala
