The booklice live on different plants, tree trunks, under tree bark, in dead wood, bird nests and even in buildings. They eat fungi, spores, algae and lichens. Occasionally they also eat dead insects. Booklice need a medium to high humidity and temperatures over 15 degrees Celsius and are capable of absorbing water vapour directly from the air. New buildings and buildings with mould infestations are a favourite habitat of booklice. Here the booklice increase the spread of the mould. They can also cause allergies, although this is mainly due to their excretory products.
>> Booklice - Barkflies
Yellow swarming flies are encountered mainly in grasslands. When they are on the hunt for habitats to overwinter, they sometimes appear in swarms of millions (mostly females) in residencial and other buildings. Each year they return to the same buildings. The reasons for this are uncertain. The adult flies overwinter without food.

The new generation of Rhaphigaster nebulosa hibernate under tree bark, in cracks and crevices, and in parts of buildings. They may appear en masse, especially in late summer or early autumn, on the sunlit walls of buildings, where they absorb heat before they go into their winter hiding places. The tachinid fly, Cylindromyia bicolor, is among the natural enemies of the Rhaphigaster nebulosa. Its larvae feed on the insert of older juvenile bugs.

Bombus pascuorum
...men of some insects being bright or dark. The queens reach a body length of up to 22 mm, and the drones, up to 18 mm while the workers are considerably smaller. The Bombus pascuorum can be found in meadows and clover fields, but also in walls and buildings. It feeds on nectar and pollen, preferring the flowers of fruit trees, large-flowered hemp-nettle, motherwort, deadnettle and Centaurea.

Saxon Wasp - Dolichovespula saxonica
...e workers 11 to 15 mm and the drones, 13 to 15 mm. The colony can comprise 200 to 300 animals. The wasp has markings on its head which look like a crown? It is found in open countryside and wooded hills, in breeding boxes for birds, hedges or buildings.

The common wasp nests both above and underground nest construction begins in spring. Often they exploit existing cavities which were previously used by other animals which they then expand considerably. Dark cavities in buildings are also often used for nesting.

Darkling beetles
...and yellowish in color. Darkling beetles prefer hot and sandy habitats (deserts, steppes (large areas of flat unforested grassland). They are tyically encountered in dead wood, bark, straw, hay, leaves, tree fungi , abandoned nests, and even in buildings. Both adult and darkling beetle larvae are herbivores or omnivores. They often live in in the company of other darkling beetles and feed on rotting plants, seeds, mushrooms or dead insects. Darkling beetles can cause major damage at food ware...

In spring, a nest is founded by a young queen. The nest is made from wood, which is taken from dry or rotten plant stems, chewed and then bonded with saliva. The nests are often found in buildings, garages, sheds or blindboxes. When finished, nests consist of about 50 cells. They have no protective outer surface. Up to 30 workers live in a single nest. At the end of July, the adult females and males of the new generation appear. In September ...

When the larvae of the drone flies leave the water they enter buildings in search of a place to become pupae. They are exterminated when they occur en masse. Since the drone fly shows few escape reflexes, it can be captured in the hand.

...lso live outdoors. They are found at altitudes of up to 2000 metres ; in the mountains niches are one of their habitats of preference. In addition, these spiders are found in alley trees. Rabbit hutch spiders search for dark areas in residential buildings, basements and barns and survive in extremely warm, dry rooms when other spider species are long gone.
