| | The larvae feed on animal plankton (zooplankton), mainly Daphnia. They detect, catch and guide the prey into their mouth with their antennae. | | |
| | | ...copses, hedgerows, parks and gardens. They are diurnal and active from May to August. In sunny weather they can seen on leaves or on the umbels of the parsley family (hogweed). They usually eat pollen and nectar. Occasionally, however, they rely on animal manure substrates. | | |
| While most species of Silphidae can be found on animal carcasses, others choose fungus, rotting plants, healthy plants and faeces, some only for oviposition. The Silphidae and their larvae live and feed on carrion - necrophagous, on parts of plants - phytophagous, on faeces - coprophagous, or by pre...
...crophagous, on parts of plants - phytophagous, on faeces - coprophagous, or by preying on adult insects, insects’ larvae or on snails. Dendroxena quadrimaculata live off caterpillars, while members of the genus Nicrophorus bury the corpses of small animals (mice, moles etc.) and dig an incubator for oviposition alongside them. The females form small balls out of the dead tissue with which they feed the larvae after hatching. Beetles of the genera Thanatophilus, Necrodes and Silpha also live on carrio... | | |
| | Lepidopterans usually only ingest liquid food (nectar, water). A few species live off animal excrement, urine, sweat, blood or even tears. Caterpillars often eat their own egg shells after hatching, and then feed on leaves, pine needles, flowers, seeds or fruits. Some caterpillars live as social parasites with ants. | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs singly on bumblebees, ambushing the workers in flight. They cling to the host animal and lay their egg between the abdominal segments. The larvae hatch quickly and then eat their way into the abdomen of the host and hollow it out gradually. Sicus ferrugineus larvae pupate and overwinter in the hosts. | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay hundreds of large, light coloured eggs on meat, often on living or dead earthworms. For this reason they also penetrate rooms where meat is stored for human or animal consumption or processing. Egg laying also takes place on open wounds. Meat that has come into contact with such flies should never be consumed by people, for the oviposition of flies carry various pathogens into food. The metabolic products of the ... | | |
| | ... from July to October. They prefer to live on roadsides, embankments or sand pits. Sandy or loamy soils, suitable for nesting, are of particular interest. Field digger wasps, and their brood, feed on flies. In addition, they seek out Umbelliferae or animal faeces (eg cow dung). When the field digger wasp sees a fly, it sneaks up, jumps on it and may fall with it to the ground. There, it paralyzes the fly and transports it to the nest. It may also happen that the field digger wasp does not paralyze the... | | |
| | Anthrenus pimpinellae are commonly found in buildings or birds’ nests, as the females lay their eggs there. The adult beetles have a short life span. They feed on pollen or the nectar of various flowering plants, while the larvae live off animal hair, feathers or substances from these. The black to dark brown, hairy larvae are sensitive to light and find dark hiding places. By the time of pupation they have reached body lengths of up to 7 mm. | | |
