Ichneumon wasps are widespread in various habitats such as mixed forests, deciduous forests, coniferous forests, fields, wetlands, wood shots, clearings and forest deadfall.
Species which parasitise aphids can exploit up to 200 aphids in a week. The females lay their eggs on the surface of aphids. After one to two days, the larvae hatch and then eat the insides of the aphid out . They pupate in the hollowed out body of the aphid and after five days, the young adult wasps hatch. Some species specialize in spinning cocoons and live on thei...
...tch. Some species specialize in spinning cocoons and live on their eggs.
Because the hatching wasps keep the populations of plant pests down, they are considered very useful. They are also actually used in agriculture to kill plant pests (aphids) or moths. | | |
| | Chrysoperla camea s. l. | | ...ound eyes which glitter and are bright and clear. Some types turn brown before the winter. Chrysoperla camea s. l. reproduce several times a year. The adult insects are usually active at twilight and feed on pollen, nectar and honeydew from aphids. During the day they sit, hidden, under leaves. They overwinter in places where they are well hidden from other animals and insects. Their larvae are considered beneficial as they eat aphids (up to 10 per day) and aphids are viewed as pests in agriculture . In 1999, the Chrysoperla camea s. l. was declared Insect of the year. | | |
| | | The female of the species lays its eggs on plants that are infested by aphids. The larvae slip off after a few days and eat up to 1200 aphids during the two weeks of their development. The larva turns into a pupa on a leaf. After about one week the adult Asian ladybird slip off the pupa.

| | The eleven-spot ladybird lives in habitats with sandy soils and, for the most part, sparse vegetation, where it hunts and devours aphids on different plant species. Their larvae also prey on small insects such as aphids. The adult beetles overwinter in leaf litter or in other plant waste. | | |
| | Ladybirds eat aphids, scale insects, powdery mildew, fungi, Spider mites, true bugs, thrips, beetle larvae, or larvae of Tenthredinidae and larvae of Lepidoptera. When food is short ladybirds also feed on plant substances. Cannibalism can be encountered among both adult... | | |

The marmelade fly is found from May to August in wetlands, forests and mountains all over Europe. Thelarvae feed on aphids and certain other small creatures. The adult marmelade fly lives off the nectar and pollen of many flowers and is considered a pollinator. | | |
| | Panorpidae (as all Scorpionflies) prefer shady areas in summer. They are often encountered in bushes and shrubs. They live on dead or injured insects and some species also eat nectar, fruit or the honeydew of aphids. Some also prey on insects trapped in spiders’ webs. | | |
| | Green lacewings | | ... have long bristles on the sides of the body.
Adult green lacewings fly at night and at dawn. They feed on pollen, nectar or honeydew. There are also species that are predatory. The latter are useful in agriculture as they eat insects, mites and aphids. | | |
| | Camponotus ligniperda prefer warm and dry habitats. They live in deciduous forests, mixed forests and grasslands with shrubs. They feed on honeydew from aphids and on the sweet and juicy parts of plants. They also prey on other creatures. The area in which these ants forage for food has a radius of about 40 metres. | | |
| | Black garden ants are active from March on. They live in forest edges and in grasslands and prefer shade and moist habitats. They feed on honeydew from aphids and mealybug that the ants hijack or caringly hold as animals. | | |
