Other species don’t eat anything or are predatory. The life span of an adult longhorn beetle is anything up to 90 days, in many species less than 1 month. | | |
| | ...onths. There are, among bumblebees, socially parasitic species (Cuckoo bumblebees) which leave their eggs in the nests of fellows and let the fellows care for their breed. The larvae of the cuckoo bumblebees danger the fellows’ own breeds since they eat the eggs and larvae. These species have no workers. | | |

The wings of the green lacewing are between 6 and 65 mm in length. Most resident species in Europe have a greenish tint. A distinguishing feature is the markings on the head. The two pairs of wings are the same shape and are usually transparent and iridescent with green wing veins.
Larvae are elongated and have small bumps on the chest and abdomen segments, or are plump and have lo...
...ents, or are plump and have long bristles on the sides of the body.
Adult green lacewings fly at night and at dawn. They feed on pollen, nectar or honeydew. There are also species that are predatory. The latter are useful in agriculture as they eat insects, mites and aphids. | | |

They overwinter in places where they are well hidden from other animals and insects. Their larvae are considered beneficial as they eat aphids (up to 10 per day) and aphids are viewed as pests in agriculture . In 1999, the Chrysoperla camea s. l. was declared Insect of the year. | | |
| | Lagriinae | | ...e 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 a... | | |

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 and fungi. Some eat leaves, others do not apply to food.
Dung beetles dig complex underground systems of passages (often beside dung). The young are fed and taken care of in individual chambers. | | |
| | The cotton bollworm likes to be on the move and penetrates further north during hot summers. It cannot overwinter in Central Europe. The cotton bollworm prefers to live on cultivated land but is also found on warm hillsides or grassy heathland.
The caterpillars eat a very wide range of foods, but are especially fond of crops such as cotton, sunflowers, lemons and tomatoes. | | |
| | The silver Y is found almost everywhere, but prefers farmland and gardens. The adult moths eat nectar from thistles, phlox and petunias. The silver Y produces several (overlapping) generations a year. The caterpillars, which feed on clover and various vegetables, overwinter in a kind of cocoon. | | |

The mouth parts of mayflies are not functional (adults do not eat), and their antennae are small. At the rear end of the abdomen are 2 thread-like appendages (cerci) and sometimes an additional terminal thread. These appendages are segmented and are longer than the body. Mayfly breathe through tracheae. | | |

The pupae are brown or light green with shimmering patches and are covered in spines. 12 days after pupating the small tortoiseshell butterfly hatches. Parasitic Diptera pose a threat to the caterpillars. Birds eat the pupae, but not the caterpillars. | | |
