This study presents the seasonal variation of data collected from observation of a dung beetle community living in an area of tropical dry forest, with another living in an area used for cattle raising, which is located in the Serranía de Corozá Colosó – Sucre. Over the course of one year - from March 2008 until March 2009 - data was collected using pitfall traps and flight interception. Both of these were left in the field for periods of 48 hours. Some hand capture methods were also used to accomplish a collection of 14 samples. We observed a total of 7496 specimens, representing 26 species. The analysis showed positive correlations between precipitation, richness and abundance of the sites sampled, excepting the abundance in the forest zone, which was positive but not significant.
