The larvae feed on the leaves or the fruit of various trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. They often appear in groups on leaves which they eat... | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their yellowish to reddish-brown eggs, individually or in small groups, on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae are yellowish after hatching and resemble caterpillars. They have 8 small pairs of legs attached to the abdomen. Their antennae have 4 - 5 segments. The larvae of Tenthredo campestris feed on the leaves of various herbaceous plants, trees and shrubs. Their food of preference is ground-elder (Aegopodium... | | |
| | After mating, which takes place from early June on, the fertilized females lay single eggs into young caterpillars from the family owlet moths (Noctuidae), the species Euxoa tritici and turnip moths (Agrotis segetum) are the preferred hosts. After the larvae of Amblyteles armatorius have hatched, they eat the host caterpillar from the inside, until it dies. When... | | |
| | ...of the wings is dark brown in colour and bears a striking, white marking in the form of a "C", hence the name "comma". The colouration and patterning of the comma butterfly varies within a year from one generation to another. The caterpillars of the comma butterfly reach body lengths of up to 30 mm. They are orange-brown in colour are with black markings. The upper surface of the body is two-thirds white in colour. The upper third is yellow and black. | | |
| | The comma butterfly produces 1 to 2 new generations a year. It is active in the period from May to October. The caterpillars appear from May to August. The butterflies live on forest roads, forest edges, brush (willow, hazel and elm) and in gardens, where they eat nectar preferably from gooseberry plants, hops, flowering garden plants and summer lilac. In midsummer, they ... | | |
| | The canary speckled wood is encountered throughout the year, at altitudes of 200 to 2000 metres in wooded areas, forest edges, on cultivated land, in gardens and at grassy cliffs. The females lay their eggs on the food plants (grasses) of the caterpillars, which hatch approximately 10 days later. | | |
| | At the end of the larval period the caterpillars pupate on their host plants, where they prefer sheltered places such as niches. The pupae hang down from grass fronds near the soil. The pupae are difficult to make out on dry soil and leaf litter because of their camouflage colouration - yellowish ... | | |
| | Adult tachina flies feed on honeydew, nectar, vegetable juices, feces or on carrion. Their larvae feed parasitically on all kinds of larvae, pupae and adult insects. This includes caterpillars, beetles (larvae and adults) and the larvae of various Diptera and arthropods. The larvae of the tachina flies enter their host animals in different ways. Firstly through ingestion of their eggs, secondly through oviposition directly on the host ani... | | |
| | The holly blue prefers to live in forests and is seen from April to September. It produces 2 new generations a year. The females lay their eggs in holly and ivy, the food plants of their caterpillars, and also on Rubus, currants (Ribes), lupines (Lupinus), vetch (Vicia), Prunus, strawberry trees (Arbutus), common buckthorn (Frangula) and blueberries (Vaccinium). The pupae of the second generation overwinter, and the adult holly blues hatch in Ap... | | |
| | There are 2-3 generations of large white per year, from March until early November. The caterpillars of the 2nd generation can cause severe damage to cabbage crops. The large white is therefore considered a pest. | | |
