There are 61 species worldwide, 11 species of which can be found in Central Europe. Some examples of species found in Central Europe are: the hornet, Dolichovespula sylvestris, Dolichovespula omissa, Vespula rufa, the common wasp and the German wasp. | | |
| | Beetles | Beetles (Coleoptera) are the largest order within the Class of insects. They are grouped in 166 families and hundreds of new species are discovered every year. Beetles are found throughout the world except in Antarctica. Central Europe has around 8,000 different beetle species. The oldest beetle fossils date from about 265 million years ago.
Beetles’ bodies are significantly different to other insects’ in that they do not solely comprise head, chest and abdomen. The second sect...
...ions of the chest, together with the abdomen, form one unit, which is overlaid by the first pair of wings (the cover wings).
Beetles can vary enormously in size ranging from 170 mm in length (Titan beetle in Brazil) to lengths of 0.5 to 75 mm (European species). The largest beetle in Germany and Central Europe is the stag beetle. | | |
| | | Hoverflies | | Hoverflies (Syrphidae) are a family of the order Diptera. There are 500 species in Europe, 1,800 in the Palearctic (the region comprising Europe and Asia - north of the Himalayan foothills - together with North Africa and the temperate part of the Arabian peninsula) and approximately 6,000 globally. The most striking characteristic of the hoverfly is its ability to remain in one place when... | | |

There are about 4,000 different species worldwide, some of which are designed like Acarina or compact and mite shaped and others which are long legged. Harvestmen are from 2 to 22 mm in length. In Central Europe, many species are endangered. Cyphopalpatores are the species of Harvestmen which occur in Europe. Some examples of this are: Sironidae, Travuniidae, Nemastomatidae, Trogulidae, Ischyropsalididae, Phalangiidae and Sclerosomatidae. | | |

...era and are encountered? are common? from March on, swarming out frequently around 25 April.
Bibio marci are black and shiny. Their bodies can reach a length of 8 to 11 mm. They are similar to flies but are the biggest kind of Bibionidae in Europe. Sometimes they appear in large swarms on shrubs and small plants. Bibio marci love to be in the proximity of water and in open landscapes. | | |
| | Large white | | The large white (Pieris brassicae), also called cabbage butterfly or cabbage white, belongs to the family Pieridae. The large white is found in a variety of habitats in northern Africa, Asia and Europe. In Europe, the large white is the most well known butterfly. | | |
| | Longhorn beetles | Longhorn beetles (Cerambycidae), also known as longicorns or long-horned beetles, are a family within the order beetles (Coleoptera). There are about 26,000 species worldwide, nearly 200 of which occur in Europe. Some examples of longhorn beetle species are: Aegosoma scabricorne, Ergates faber, Tragosma depsarium, Necydalis major, Necydalis ulmi, great capricorn beetle (Cerambyx cerdo), capricorn beetle (Cerambyx scopolii), Cerambyx miles, musk beetle (Arom...
...romia moschata), rosalia longicorn (Rosalia alpina), Purpuricenus kaehleri, Iberodorcadion fuliginator, Lamia textor and Phytoecia nigricornis. The largest known longhorn beetle, the Brazilian titanus giganteus, can reach a body length of 170 mm. In Europe, the Ergates faber is the largest species with a length of up to 60 mm.

| ...he fungi which live within. There are species which live from feces and others which tunnel into plants, eating from their substance.
The larvae live in soil, some also in water. The larval phase ( in total 3 stages) lasts for about 8 days. In Europe the adult flies take 2 to 3 weeks to hatch. The high reproduction rate of Muscidae (about 8 generations per year), is due to the large number of enemies they have - and not due to a dramatic increase in their numbers.

A number of species (outside Europe) are known to transmit diseases such as dysentery, cholera, hepatitis, polio, anthrax, typhoid fever or sleeping sickness. | | |
| | Green lacewings | | Green lacewings are in the family Chrysopidae of the order net-winged insects. There are approximately 2, 000 species globally, 70 of which are found in Europe. These include Chrysoperla carnea s. l and Chrysoperla mediterranea.
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 ab... | | |
| | The shrill carder-bee | | Bombus sylvarum is an annual colony building insect species which belongs to the bumblebees. Bombus sylvarum are widespread in Germany and Europe although they are rare in the north (of europe or germany. They inhabit forest edges, parks, gardens, meadows, ditches and embankments. Bombus sylvarum prefer flat areas. | | |
