| Adult Amblyteles armatorius reach body lengths of 12 - 16 mm. Their bodies are strongly built, slender, and predominantly black and yellow in colour. Their antennae are about 9 mm in length. Their compound eyes have a grey grey-brown to dark grey sheen. There are three red-brown simple eyes (ocelli) near the top of the forehead. The upper surface of the chest section is black and appears to be lightly dusted because of the fine light hair there. | | |
|
| The head is orange-red at the front. The antennae are long and threadlike and the first 3 segments are brownish red. The other segments are black. The mouthparts (mandibles) are red in colour, as also as parts of the neck. The front part of the chest is orange on the upper surface (neck plate). There is a black spot in the middle of the chest that can run right up to the front or rear edge. | | |
|
|
| The black chest section (thorax) bulges at the shoulders. These bulges are yellow. The triangular scutellum is also yellow. The first abdominal segment also has yellow bulges at the sides. The entire abdomen is yellow and black and is thus wasp-like in appearance. In the females only the 2nd and 3rd segment have a yellow stripe at the rear edges. The 5th and 6th segment look like they are covered with dull yellow dust. | | |
|
| At present in Europe, the majority of scoliid wasp species are black and yellow. Male specimens of the subfamily Proscoliinae are almost uniformly black in colour, while females are predominantly of a reddish hue. Scoliidae are more or less hairy. The antennae of the males are straight and divided into 13 segments, while the shorter antennae of the female are heart-shaped or spiral and consist of 1... | | |

Adult Sarcophaga carnaria reach body lengths of 7 - 18 mm. The males are smaller than the females. Their bodies are slimly built, more or less hairy, and light grey, dark grey or black in colour. Their head, , appears almost square when seen in profile. The forehead protrudes and is narrow in the males, and wider in the females. 2 pairs of strong bristles run from the edge of the eyes to the forehead. The compound eyes are red and...
...ong bristles run from the edge of the eyes to the forehead. The compound eyes are red and hairless and situated at the side of the head. Long, white hair is visible on the back of the head and on the "cheeks". The underside of the head has black hair. Their 3rd antennal bristle is longer than their second. Food intake is performed via a powerful proboscis. | | |
|
| The upper surface of the chest (thorax) is light grey to dark grey in colour. Three broad black stripes run lengthwise, flanked on both sides by a short black stripe. The abdomen has a striking checked pattern in silvery and dark grey. The upper chitinous plates (tergites) of the 3rd and 4th abdominal segment almost completely cover the hardened edges of the segments (sternites). The wings are almost as l... | | |
|
| Spider wasps all have the same type of body, which makes identification of individual species difficult. They are always long, lean and leggy. The abdomen is egg shaped, widening at the rear. Spider wasps are completely black or black with a red base colour on the abdomen. Spider wasps have a poisonous sting. The sting of spider wasps can be painful, but is usually harmless for humans. | | |
|
| In the males the sides are also light coloured and contrast sharply with the dark brown to black upper surface. The short hairs create a shine. The legs of both sexes are yellowish-grey and have fine brownish-black spots. There are 4 - 5 thorn- shaped appendages on the bottom of the tibia of the first pair of legs. . Due to their appearance, Philodromus dispar, especially females, can be confused with Philodromus cespitum. | | |
|
| Adults reach body lengths of 7. 5-10. 5 mm. The upper surface of their bodies is densely covered with grey or brown hair and therefore appears grey although it is in fact black. The wing covers (elytra ) have a series of small indentations. The antennae are black and remarkably long. The larvae of these beetles develop in sandy soils. | | |

| Dung midges - Minute black scavenger flies | | The minute black scavenger flies (Scatopsidae), also known as "dung midges" are an important family, in the order flies (Diptera), the suborder Nematocera, the infraorder Psychodomorpha and the superfamily Scatopsoidea. This family is divided into the subf... | | |
