Adults have short, club-shaped antennae. Their mouthparts (maxillary palpi) are elongated, yellowish to reddish-brown in colour and hair-like (filiform) and may be mistaken for antennae. The maxillary palpi like the antennae often have dark ends. On the wing covers (elytra) are 10 stripes of fine, puncture-like points. These stripes, which are lengthwise and become furro...
...er beetle. Additional rows from irregular posited series of points appear in the space between the rows from regular posited points. The legs of the beetle are yellowish, yellow-brown or rust-colored. The tarsi appear reddish brown to dark brown in colour.
The hind legs have long hairs that aid in swimming. The water scavenger beetle prefers to live in and on smaller bodies of waters with sufficient sunlight. They are often found (as adults or larvae) floating on the surface of salt water or b... | | |
| | Adult Attagenus smirnovi reach body lengths of 2 - 5. 5 mm and are 2 - 2. 5 mm in width. Their bodies are oval shaped and have a black base colour. The head and pronotum are black to dark red or brown. In the male specimens the 11th antenna segment is sabre -shaped and four times the length of the previous two segments together. The antennae are reddish to yellow in colour. The head is standing upright and partially hidden behind the fore chest. The front tapered hips protrude. The elytra (forewings) are brown, reddish yellow or yellow in colour and covered with yellowish or light brown hairs. Attagenus smirnovi have reddish-yellow legs. | | |
| | Euthrix potatoria is a medium-sized moth, reaching wingspans of 40 - 65 mm. Its body isyellow, brown or reddish brown in colour. The head and neck are thick with long hairs. The base colour of the wings is ochre -yellow to reddish brown. The wings of the males can have a purple sheen and are usually darker than the females’.

...ker than the females’.
There is a dark brown diagonal stripe in the anterior third of the upper surface of the forewings, which extends up to the wing edge, and which remains visible when the wings are folded. Another transverse line in the same colour can be found in the posterior third of the wings’ upper surface. It runs from the wing joint to the wing tip. About halfway between these transverse lines, is a less distinct, wavy line. In the centre of the wings’ upper surface, between the two dar... | | |
| | Forest bug | | The forest bug (Pentatoma rufipes) belongs to the family Pentatomidae. It is one of the biggest bugs in Central Europe and can reach a length of 13 to 15 mm. In the summer, it is bronze coloured, in the autumn, dark brown in colour. The upper edges of the pronotum are strongly curved. The neck shield at the top lights in orange. The proboscis is very long. The legs and the first set of antennae are maroon coloured. The larvae of forest bugs are dark. With age they become lighter in colour, especially their abdomens. | | |
| | The adult insects reach a length of 12 to 15 mm. They are green-brown to bronze in colour. However after the winter, their colouration is light green. Their bodies are covered in small dimples and spots, their feet are brownish in colour, and the outer edges of their wing covers are yellowish. | | |
| | Rove beetles | | ...his is that the beetles have greater mobility when entering smallest cavities. The wings are enfolded by the wing covers. The body length of the rove beetle, (depending on type), ranges from 0.5 to 50 mm and the body is usually black or brown in colour. Occasionally species with a metallic blue-violet or blue colour can be encountered. Other species are very hairy. Most rove beetles are good fliers, and often swarm on warm evenings. While larger species of rove beetle search for food in the night, smaller species are active by day.
Rove beetles can be foun... | | |
| | ...generation (spring) reach wingspans of up to 38 mm, those of the second generation (summer) reach 43 mm, while the males can reach spans of 32 mm in spring and 38 mm in summer. The body of the butterfly is slim and the upper surface is a black-brown colour. The underside is lighter and slightly hairy. The rings on the segments are white. The upper surface of the wings in the spring generation is a brownish-red to orange colour and is interspersed with black patches. The summer generation are black-brown to black or sometimes blue-black) The undersides of the wings in the two generations differ only slightly. | | |
| | The queens are 16 to 18 mm in length, the drones 12 to 14 mm, and the workers 10 to 15 mm. The body of the Bombus sylvarum is hairy and yellow, brown and orange in colour. The colour contrasts are weaker than in other bumblebee species. Bombus sylvarum have a long head and a strikingly long proboscis. | | |
| | Lagriinae | | ...bfamily of the family Darkling beetles. More than 2,000 species can be found worldwide. The most commonly occurring subspecies in Germany is Lagria hirta.
The adult beetles have body lengths of 7 to 12 mm. The wing covers are brownishred in colour and have a fine hair, which looks like brown wool.
Lagriinae eat young leaves of flowering plants. They are encountered on grasses, herbs and shrubs. The adults fly throughout the summer. The larvae of Lagriinae are white and brownish in colour. They are very small and survive the winter on fallen leaves, which are also their food source. The larvae turn to pupae in the soil. | | |
| | Tabanus sudeticus | | Tabanus sudeticus are the largest species of horse fly in Central Europe. They are widespread throughout the entire Palearctic eco-zone.
Tabanus sudeticus reach body lengths of 19-25 mm. Their base colour is grey-brown. Their compound eyes are dark brown. The thorax of these flies is olive-brown to grey and has 3 weak longitudinal lines, which are somewhat brighter in colour. The dark brown segments at the rear end of the abdomen have a light-brown edge which gets wider at the sides. There is an even lighter coloured triangle in the middle of each of the 2nd to 5th segments. | | |
