| Meiosimyza rorida are active from May to October in Central Europe, and prefer to live in the herb layers of deciduous forests, where they can be encountered moving slowly on leaves and stems. When disturbed, they hide. Females lay their eggs in rotting leaves, which the larvae feed on after hatching. | | |
|
| After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs singly on bumblebees, ambushing the workers in flight. They cling to the host animal and lay their egg between the abdominal segments. The larvae hatch quickly and then eat their way into the abdomen of the host and hollow it out gradually. Sicus fe... | | |

|
| Fertilized females lay their eggs from the air, dropping 20 - 30 of them, each about 0. 5 mm in length, into vegetated waters. The larvae need to stay at the bottom of the water for about 1 year in order to develop. They live off captured micro-organisms until they are about 19 mm i... | | |
|
| The fertilized females lay 20 - 30 oblong eggs, about 0. 5 mm in length, immediately after mating. This is done near the water’s edge, in the presence of the males who keep watch. After oviposition the females are guided back to the riparian vegetation by the males, and mating occurs again. The ... | | |
|
| The larvae develop under water and overwinter there in their final stage of development. During the first three weeks after hatching from their eggs they leave the place where they were born and explore the surroundings of the water’s edges. They then go back into the water. In the following spring they finally leave the water via outstanding plant stems. They free themselves from their larval c... | | |
|
| Mating season is fromJuly /to September. The fertilized females lay their eggs just below the surface of the soil (usually in chaff or leaves). The larvae of Lagria hirta are cream to light brown in colour. They feed on rotting leaves or on peat. The development of the larvae from egg to beetle takes 9 months, from autumn to s... | | |
|
| Their bodies are elongated. The abdomen has 9 segments. The females have a short ovipositor, shaped like a saw. The females cut into plants and lay their eggs with the ovipositor. The larvae of some species live in leaf courses, while others live in galls. | | |
|
| After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the larval food plants. The larvae devour the leaves of various trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. These include willow (Salix), poplar(Populus), alder (Alnus) and buttercup (Ranunculaceae). | | |
|
| After mating, the fertilized females lay their yellowish to reddish-brown eggs, individually or in small groups, on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae are yellowish after hatching and resemble caterpillars. They have 8 small pairs of legs attached to the abdomen. Their antennae have 4 - 5 segments. The larvae of Tenth... | | |
|
| After mating, which takes place from early June on, the fertilized females lay single eggs into young caterpillars from the family owlet moths (Noctuidae), the species Euxoa tritici and turnip moths (Agrotis segetum) are the preferred hosts. After the larvae of Amblyteles armatorius have hatched, they eat the host caterpillar from the ins... | | |
