| The rabbit hutch spider is active at night and moves back into narrow cavities in the daytime, as it is very shy The females prey on small insects (mosquitoes, flies or other species of spiders) which they either capture in their k web, or restrain on the ground. They are capable of overwhelming prey much larger than themselves likehouse spiders, for example. Males usu... | | |

| The females mostly spin webs in dark corners, on ceilings or in window frames. The rabbit hutch spider is very undemanding and can survive a long time without food or drink. Mating happens in spring and autumn and including courtship, can take several day... | | |

| The Tetragnatha montana is the only species where the female has a small tooth near the root of its mouth parts (chelicerae). The rear section of the females’ body (opisthosoma) is a shiny silvery white colour on the upperside. In the middle is the characteristic leaf-like marking (folium). It is composed of a white surrounding area against the broad and clearly visible, greenish-brown or brownish-go... | | |

| Mating, which is not initiated through courtship by the males, takes place in May/June. Through the use of a special grip, the male spiders avoid the female’s deadly bite and leave after mating. In order to store the fertilized eggs, females produce a dark green cocoon , and encase it in a fine white web. . The cocoon is attached to parts of plants (mostly leaves) and is guarded and protected against predators by the mother until the young spiders hatch, which takes about 100 days. | | |
|
| Fertilized females drop their eggs from the air onto grasslands. The caterpillars have a body length of about 25 mm and are greyish-brown to red in colour with fine, dark spots.They have a dark longitudinal line on their backs. The caterpillars live on Poaceae or Cyp... | | |
|
| Cynomya mortuorum feed on pollen and fluids, which they find in carrion or excrement. The fertilized females lay several hundred eggs (which are generally larger than those of other blowflies) on rotting meat. The whitish, cylindrical eggs are 1. 6-1. 75 mm in length and 0. 5-0. 7 mm in breadth and taper at the front, while the posterior end is blunt. The ... | | |

| These flies reach body lengths of 6-9 mm. Their abdomen is very broad. The females are silver-grey in colour. The markings on their bodies are black. They are typically encountered with black stripes lengthwise on their thorax.. On the scutellum is a black triangle and two dark spots laterally. The males have orange markings... | | |
|
| Some species of lace bugs overwinter as adults. After mating, the fertilized females use their ovipositor to lay their eggs almost exclusively on the underside of the leaves of the food plants of their larvae (nymphs). The eggs of some species spend the winter there. The hatched larvae have longer or shorter thorns depending on what... | | |

| ...ats. They are often found in large numbers in areas with a lot of thistles. They feed on nectar, which they suck from the flowers of the thistle (Cirsium) or other flowering plants like butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii). After mating, the fertilized females seek out the food plants of the larvae where they lay their eggs on the upperside of the leaves. The eggs are shaped like a cone, grooved, and greenish-grey in colour. They remain on the leaves for 3 to 5 days before the larvae hatch. When the larva... | | |

| ...ered and comprise 13-15 segments. The pedipalps are divided into three to five segments. Dot eyes (ocelli) are not existing on them. The thorax (chest) has no continuous, V-shaped suture, as in the case of mosquitoes (Tipulidae). The wings of the females are black in colour and almost reach the end of their abdomen. The legs of the Chaoboridae are formed like stilts. | | |
