| Dor Beetles - Earth-boring dung beetles | | ...pes vernalis and Typhaeus typhoeus.
The beetles are 6 to 26 mm in length. Their bodies range in shape from oval to spherical. They can be black, brown, metallic blue, green or blue green in colour. The male insects wear horns, humps or have deep impressions on their large and curved necks.
The earth-boring dung beetle lives in forests, steppes and fields.
The adult beetles are active during the day and night. They are clumsy in flight. Adults and larvae feed on faeces, rotten plants... | | |
| | ... forewings are grey to dark grey and have a dark marking. In the mid-wing area is a bright marking shaped like a bent "Y". The hindwings are greyish-brown with dark edges. The silver Y has a very long proboscis and can suck nectar out from deep flower calyx. The caterpillars, which are up to 25 mm in length, are light green and have a pattern of fine bright lines on their back. | | |
| | | Sphaerophoria scripta are found from May to September in almost all habitats, especially in open terrain. They can be found in the flowers of many different plants, feeding on pollen and nectar and can gain access to deep blossoms with their long proboscises. | | |
| | Mating occurs in spring and the males die afterwards. Shortly thereafter, the females start building the nest on bare, dry, sandy soil sites. For this purpose they dig a main gallery, which is up to 60 cm deep and leads into the ground, and into diverse brood cells (incubators). The entrance to the nest looks like a crater surrounded by a small mound. The brood cells are filled with a pulp of pollen and nectar by the females and afterwards they lay a... | | |
| | Water scavenger beetles reach body lengths of 4-9 mm. Their bodies are oval-shaped, with a very flat underside. They have a slightly metallic sheen, are deep black in colour and shimmer slightly bronze when seen in light.
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 ... | | |
| | The andromeda lace bug can multiply in large numbers and appears en masse. The bugs cause mottling on the leaves of plants. Egg-laying is carried out with the aid of an ovipositor. The eggs are very small and transparent and are sunk deep in the leaves’ tissue (usually on the underside). The eggs overwinter there. | | |
| | ...white surrounding area against the broad and clearly visible, greenish-brown or brownish-gold coloured band with a fine dark network of lines on the surface. A shiny silver-whitish area can be on its front section. The folium in space is limited by deep waves with narrow dark edges which can be golden , bronze or brownish in colour. The underside of the opisthosoma is dark brown and shiny silver with two narrow bands running lengthwise, which stop at the spider’s silk-spinning organ (spinneret). | | |
| | ... a poisonous sting at the end of their abdomens; the drones lack this sting but have, in its place, sex organs. The wings of the european hornet are reddish-orange in colour. A characteristic feature of this insect (apart from the body size) is the deep humming tone produced when flying. | | |
| | The chest of the males is deep black, while that of the females is dark greyish-brown, and both are (if you only mean the females take the ‘both are’ out) covered with black bristles, especially at the edges. The surface appears to be covered in grey "dust" in places. T... | | |
| | In the 3rd year they come up against the hard heartwood, which at least takes them 2 more winters. The larvae have now reached body lengths of 90 - 100 mm and pupate in the period from July to August in tunnels, which are about 80 mm deep. The pupal period lasts 4 - 6 weeks. In late September or early October of the 4th year, up to 200 great capricorn beetles hatch in a single tree. The entire development period of the larvae can be up to 5 years. | | |
