The Asian ladybird secretes a yellow, bitter poison (hemolymph) when in danger , which significantly reduces the number of its enemies. | | |
| | Sitona gressorius prefer to live in marginal areas, where lupins are naturally present or are grown. Since 1999, they have been occurring on mass in the main lupin production areas in Germany causing extensive damage. The adult beetles feed on the margins of the leaves, especially on young plants, and leave jagged edges like those on stamps, while their larvae feed on the roots of the plants. The leaflets can be completely bitten through (blue lupine). Small and bird's-foot broom are also eaten by Sitona gressorius. In June, the young beetles of the new generation hatch. They often enter residential areas, occ... | | |

Long-legged flies prefer to be in proximity to water. While some species prey on insects and worms, others feed on nectar and honeydew.
The females lay their eggs on rotting plants, under bark or in reeds. Some species lay their eggs in water. The larvae feed on plant substrates first, and later on small insects, often unselectively. The pupae have breathing tubes and are hidden in cocoons. | | |
| | Hylaeus | ...bees cannot carry pollen externally. Hylaeus carry pollen in a crop (a pouch in the foregut).
Hylaeus prefer to live on forest edges, in parks and gardens, hedgerows,sand pits and clay pits. The adult bees are active from May to September. They feed on the nectar and pollen of various plants such as aster, daisy or sunflower (Asteraceae), bell flowers (Campanulaceae), legumes, peas, beans or pulses (Fabaceae), mint plants (Lamiaceae), dicots (Resedaceae), rose plants (Rosaceae), tansy (Tanace...
...t stems, dead wood or often in the galleries of beetles or other insects. After oviposition (egg laying) the nest is sealed. The larvae overwinter in the nests. Wasps of the family Gasteruptionidae are natural enemies of Hylaeus as their larvae feed on the brood of Hylaeus. | | |
| Adult Tachina fera feed on the nectar of flowering plants and on honeydew, while their larvae live off the body tissue of different caterpillars. The females lay their eggs near the caterpillars. The larvae immediately hatch from their eggs and penetrate the host cat...
..., while their larvae live off the body tissue of different caterpillars. The females lay their eggs near the caterpillars. The larvae immediately hatch from their eggs and penetrate the host caterpillars. The caterpillars die because the larvae feed on their inner tissue. The larvae are parasitic on the caterpillars of the gypsy moth (Lymantria dispar), the black arches (Lymantria monacha), and the pine beauty (Panolis flammea). | | |
| While the males feed on the nectar of various plants, the females in Central Europe prey solely on the workers of honey bees (Apis mellifera). To detect prey they deploy their visual skills as well as their strong sense of smell. When a flying honey bee is clearly ident...
...uid from the prey with its powerful front legs and eats this immediately. The bee itself is not consumed and is subsequently dropped. Transport of the prey into the bee wolf’s nest is only to supply food for the larvae. The females occasionally also feed on nectar, which they obtain directly from flowers. | | |
| | Taurus fly | ...eres are covered. The abdomen is yellow and with black spots on the top as also with three black bandages , which to the rear end are wedge-shaped and extended. The legs are long , thin and from reddish-yellow to yellow in colour.
The Taurus fly feeds on the nectar of the various plant species whose blossoms she visits. The female lays her eggs on branches of trees or on blades of grass. The number of eggs (located singly or in or in small clusters) can amount to more than 1000.
The larvae ...
...he number of eggs (located singly or in or in small clusters) can amount to more than 1000.
The larvae are very small when they hatch. At the end of their abdomen is an apparature through which they can move like loopers (inchworms). The larvae feed parasitically on spiders or on their young. They jump on approaching spiders and penetrate (through the skin at one of the spider’s joints) into the prey’s body. They remain here and feed slowly on the spider’s insides until the end of their larval stage. The larvae overwinter inside the remains of the spider. In spring they pupate in the soil. The pupae have a curved shape. | | |
| | Flat-footed flies feed on organic deposits on the leaves of trees and herbage. The females commonly lay their eggs on tree fungi. Oviposition also occurs on dead or decaying wood. The hatching larvae then feed on these materials. The larvae reach body lengths of 4-5 mm. Their yellowish to brown bodies resemble woodlice in shape and have appendages in different sizes depending on the species. The larvae of flat-footed flies pupate at the end of the last ... | | |
| | ...he 3rd larval stage they are about 11 mm in length and pupate. The larvae of alder leaf beetles are first olive, later cyan and shortly before pupating bluish in colour. They have 2 rows of very hairy warts. The larvae, like the adult beetles, feed on the leaves of the grey or speckled alder (Alnus incana), hornbeam (Carpinus), birch (Betula) and hazel (Corylus). They feed, initally in groups and later alone, by scraping the surface off the leaves from the underside, leaving only the veins, unlike the adults. eats the leaves from the lower surface by scraping them off. The development of the larvae is complete in ... | | |

The hatching larvae then eat their way into the abdomen of the host animal, reside there and feed on the insides of the host until it is hollow. The larvae overwinter in the host insects. Some species, such as Conops flavipes (the most common species of the genus Conops) live in the nests of bees and bumblebees where their larvae feed on the bee brood. | | |
