The brown argus is diurnal and as an adult butterfly has a life expectancy of 2 - 3 months. It is active from May to September in warm, dry regions, from the coast up to highland in forest edges, clearings, on stony slopes, in heathland, coastal meadows, dry meadows and calcareous grasslands (dry as well as damp) preferably with limestone soils and an abundance of flowering plants. Yellow rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium), soft cranesbill (Geranium molle), and Erodium cicutarium are among the most important crops for the adults. Here they ...

Omocestus rufipes prefer dry, open, sparsely vegetated habitats, especially in mountainous areas. This includes sandy, stony or rocky areas with extremely dry vegetation and grazed sheep pastures, dry grasslands, heaths, roadsides, slopes, forest clearings and edges of marshes, all of which are exposed to the sun. Omocestus rufipes are active from the beginning of July to November and feed on grasses. The fertilized females lay their eggs in ...

The bee wolf is a solitary wasp and prefers warm, dry, sunny habitats. It is found in flat grassland, heaths, dry meadows and open sandy places. It can be encountered on the edges of sandy pits, on sunken roads, and also occasionally near areas populated by humans. Adult bee wolves are active from June to September.

Thick-headed flies prefer open, dry habitats and live on dry meadows, lawns, fields, roadsides and forest edges. The adult flies feed on the nectar of various flowers and plants such as aster, umbellifers, willow, black thorn and thistles. Thick-headed flies are active from May to September.

Meshweb weavers livein different habitats in Central Europe. They can be found on dry grass and ruderal vegetation, on trees, shrubs, perennials or inflorescences of dry plants. They also like to be in areas populated by humans. The meshweb weavers live off insects. Often, these are medium to large sized flying insects, which get caught in their finely spun webs.

Moths
...ways nocturnal but they only fly in sunny weather. Most moths are inconspicuous and dully coloured and this allows them a kind of camouflage when they rest in the daytime. Their wing colouration often mimics the appearance of their roost (tree bark, dry leaves).

In spring, a nest is founded by a young queen. The nest is made from wood, which is taken from dry or rotten plant stems, chewed and then bonded with saliva. The nests are often found in buildings, garages, sheds or blindboxes. When finished, nests consist of about 50 cells. They have no protective outer surface. Up to 30 workers live in a single...

Camponotus ligniperda prefer warm and dry habitats. They live in deciduous forests, mixed forests and grasslands with shrubs. They feed on honeydew from aphids and on the sweet and juicy parts of plants. They also prey on other creatures. The area in which these ants forage for food has ...

The larvae suck the juices from leaf stems and leaves. In a later stage of development they swop to flowers and grass seeds. The larvae become adults from July on and overwinter in soil, leaf litter or dry grass.
