| | ...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 carrion... | | |

A few days later the larvae hatch from their eggs. Firstly they eat the eggs or larvae of the host animals and later on any food supplies found there. | | |
| | Fertilized females lay their eggs in flight, on sedentary or slow-flying hosts (bees, bumble bees or wasps). The larvae hatch and burrow into the abdomen of their host animals and feed on their insides until they are completely empty. They pupate and overwinter in the empty skin of the host. During the following spring, 8 - 10 months after hatching from their eggs, the adult flies emerge from the pupae. | | |

Scoliidae prefer warm temperatures. Adults (especially Campsomerinae) are flower visitors, feeding on nectar or honeydew. They are not aggressive. | | |
| | Mites and ticks live in diverse habitats however, they prefer warm moist environments. Most species live in the soil. Others live in the hair of animals, theirorifices or even their skin. Some species specialize in birds and their plumage. Other species are found in the vicinity of people, for example, in beds (place of preference), or upholstered furniture, carpets, textiles, etc. | | |
| | The way of life of most parasitic mites varies considerably. Many species are very slow moving and use animals as a form of transport while sucking their blood. Even the diet of different species varies greatly. Mites live from bacteria etc... or from plants or plant parts, fungi, carrion, dead tissue (eg skin flakes) or fat. | | |

In Bavaria, Cardiophorus asellus are threatened with extinction according to the Red List of threatened animals. | | |
