The eyes of the larvae are red. Their antennae and legs are transparent, while the rest of the body is yellowish. From the beginning of the 2nd larval stage on (5 days) the nymphs start eating. The head, thorax, antennae and legs are now black. There is a yellow patch on each outer side of the upper surface of the chest. The abdomen is red, as are...

...The head, thorax, antennae and legs are now black. There is a yellow patch on each outer side of the upper surface of the chest. The abdomen is red, as are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th segments of the antennae. In the 3rd and 4th larval stages (7 days), the body shape changes and shades of green start to predominate in the colouration. In the 5th stage (8 days) the wings begin to grow. The abdomen is yellowish green now and has red spots on its axis in the middle. During the 8th day the final moult occurs a...

Adult oak spiders reach body lengths of 7 - 14 mm, the males, (7 - 8 mm) being significantly smaller than the females (12 - 14 mm). The front section of the body (prosoma) is almost uniformly dark and is considerably lighter in the direction of the eyes. The dark, base colour is hard to see because of the presence of thick, white hair.

Beetles
...out 265 million years ago. Beetles’ bodies are significantly different to other insects’ in that they do not solely comprise head, chest and abdomen. The second section consists solely of the prothorax, of which only the neck shield on top of the body is evident. The remaining two sections of the chest, together with the abdomen, form one unit, which is overlaid by the first pair of wings (the cover wings). Beetles can vary enormously in size ranging from 170 mm in length (Titan beetle in Braz...

The life span of arachnids, in contrast to that of insects varies widely. Their body growth is greatly limited by a rigid exoskeleton. Arachnids moult, after retreating into hiding and fasting. While most spiders moult hanging down from a thread (thread moulting) to spend the time of moulting on their backs.
>> Arachnids
Common to all wasps is the black-and-yellow warning colour of the body. The Vespinae live in states or parasitically as so called cuckoo wasps. Adult Vespinae mainly feed on small parts of dead or living animals, from insects, pollen, plant juices and from nectars. Their larvae are mainly fed on animal meat.

The queen bee is 15 to 23 mm in length, while the, workers and drones are approximately 8 to 21 mm. Bumblebees have a strong rounded body, comprising head, thorax and abdomen. They are protected from the cold by hair which is mostly yellow, white or black in color. The colouring of the bumblebee varies from type to type. Bumblebees eat using a proboscis, which can vary in length. ...
>> Bumblebees
The Western honey bee is a social insect. The queens reach a body length of 15 to 18 mm, the drones, 13 to 16 mm and the workers, 11 to 13 mm. The drones have larger compound eyes than the workers. Workers can in principle also lay eggs, but are usually prevented by a chemical messenger - a substance excreted ...

Common green bottle flies
The common green bottle fly (Lucilia sericata) belongs to the family of Blow-flies (Calliphoridae) and is widespread in Europe and Asia. The body length ranges from 7 to 11 mm and has a metallic sheen in green and gold colours.

Mecoptera
Mecoptera, sometimes called ‘scorpionflies’, belong to the Neoptera. There are approximately 600 species worldwide, 10 of which can be found in Europe. Mecoptera can reach a body length of 3.5 to 20 mm with a wing span of 20 to 40 mm. They have 2 pairs of wings which are almost identical. In some species the wings are much smaller and in others the larger pair of wings is missing. A notable characteristic of the adult ins...

Because there is a huge variety of hoverflies their appearance and colour varies enormously. They can look similar to wasps, but they are not dangerous and have no sting. This mimicry protects them from their enemies. The body shape of the hoverfly varies from long and thin to compact. Some species are hairy. The front part of the head is shaped like a muzzle and the mouth parts are designed for sucking up liquid food such as nectar and for chewing pollen. Hoverflies...
