| 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. They have one pair of compound eyes , antennae and six legs.

Examples include: Cricket, Great Green Bush Cricket, Chorthippus parallelus and Acrididae. They are found globally except in extremely cold areas. European species have migrated from colder regions, and also partly from the south because of increasing temperatures. | | |

While the old queens usually die in the autumn the young fertilized queens seek safe homes. With the cold of coming winter huge numbers of worker wasps die from starvation and as a result many colony wasps become solitary. In spring new colonies emerge from the overwintering young queens.
Wasps have a smooth sting which they use to inject crippling ... | | |
| | The ringlet prefers habitats with forest or woods at the edges, where blackberries and high shrubs grow. It also inhabits grassy forest clearings. On cold days, the ringlet opens its wings to the sun in order to stock up on warmth. It can frequently be encounterd on thistles, hogweeds or forest widow flowers. The ringlet reproduces once a year and is active from June to September. | | |

The larvae of Cantharis fusca live on the ground or near the ground and capture small insects, worms and snails to eat, killing them by injecting them with poison. The cold-resistant larvae overwinter under rocks or in soil litter. On sunny winter days they can be observed crawling on the snow surface. The larvae are thus also called "snow worms”. In May of the following year, they have finished the 6th larval sta... | | |
| | The flight behaviour of mosquitoes depends on the prevailing weather and light conditions. They can fly at an altitude of up to 100 metres. In cold or rainy weather they usually stay close to the soil. | | |

The chest segments of the larvae are equipped with 10 pairs of invertebrate tracheae which supply the larvae with oxygen. The larvae can be very large. The larvae of Bibio clavipes are cold resistant and overwinter. They are herbivores but can also feed on carrion. They feed on both living and dead plants. At the end of their development, the larvae pupate in the soil. The pupae are equipped with breathing horns which lengths are limit... | | |
| | ... Nematocera are generally good flyers, i. e. the Bibio hortulanus are sluggish and slow.
The female Bibionidae lay up to 3, 000 eggs, individually or in small groups in the soil, where they are buried. The hatched larvae, which are resist to the cold, are usually hairy and are found en masse (especially in the upper layers of humus). They live on rotting plant remains and are important soil regenerators. The pupae of Bibionidae also live in the soil. The larvae can be harmful when they occur en ... | | |
| | These caterpillars regularly drink dew or rain drops. They eat moor grass (Molinia caerulea), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), reed (Phragmites australis) or sedge (Cyperaceae).
The caterpillars are resistant to the cold winter and in the 3rd Larval stage are to find on grass. The larvae continue eating in the spring. In May, they pupate in a parchment-like cocoon, with strong bristles. The pupa hangs from a blade of grass, is black and red in colour and darkens wit... | | |
