The queen lays fertilized eggs in this honeycomb. After the larvae have hatched the queen takes care of the brood, feeding the larvae with insects and spiders until they pupate in early June. These larvae will become the female workers. As soon as the young female workers have left their pupae, they take over nearly all activities of the queen,... | | |
| | Adult european hornets’ main tasks are brood care, protection of the nest against enemies, and the hunt, both by day and night,for insects such as flies, wasps, bees, moths, grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars or Odonata to feed the queen or the larvae.

| | | Scarab species may be diurnal or nocturnal. Adult beetles and larvae feed on decaying plant parts or on dung. Some species, such as Scarabaeus sacer, undertake an extraordinary high level of brood care, rolling manure into balls and keeping these in reserve as a food source for their larvae. Due to their ability to produce humus, these species are ecologically important. Other species, such as the May beetle (Melolontha melolontha), can cause ser... | | |

Approximately 3 weeks after mating the males die. The females care for their brood until the end of May and then they die too. The larvae are left to fend for themselves until June when they pupate. In early July, the adults of the 2nd generation hatch from their pupae. They are active until September when they die... | | |

Mating may take several hours and is normally non-fatal for the males. For oviposition, the female produces a flat, white cocoon, which it fastens amongst moss, under a stone or under dry leaves. There is no brood care. The newly hatched spiders can be found just above the ground. They catch prey with small orb-webs that they build. In adulthood, they no longer use webs, but walkaround hunting insects. | | |
