The females lay their white, oblong eggs on plants in disorderly piles. Their larvae are whitish-green. They live in the soil and feed on rotting parts of plants and small organisms, which they kill by injecting them with poison, using their mouth parts.

| | | Meadow brown | The meadow brown (Maniola jurtina) is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) and the family Nymphalidae. It is common in Europe, North America and Asia. Meadow browns reach wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. In the females, the upper surface of the wings is dark brown. The front wings have a yellow-orange band, and a dark, round spot with a white centre which resembles an eye. The males are smaller and have a similar colouration. However, their "eyes" are no...
...e wings is dark brown. The front wings have a yellow-orange band, and a dark, round spot with a white centre which resembles an eye. The males are smaller and have a similar colouration. However, their "eyes" are not as big as those of the females. The undersides of the wings are yellow. There are "eyes" there too. The underside of the hind wings bears a jagged grey band. In the males this is a bit lighter. | | |
| | Adult Polyommatus icarus reach wingspans of 25 - 35 mm. Males and females vary greatly in terms of their colouration. In the males, the upper surface of the wings is blue with black and white edges, while in the females it is brown with orange markings. In both sexes the underside of the wings has black spots and the edges are marked with orange half moon shapes. | | |
| | Adult speckled bush-crickets reach body lengths of 10 - 15 mm. They have a saddle - shaped, strong body, on which yellow markings are more or less visible lengthwise. Speckled bush-crickets have very short wings, especially the females, whose crescent-shaped ovipositors curve downwards. The females lay their fertilized eggs separately from each another, the eggs overwinter and the larvae hatch in the spring. | | |

Adult woodlice have a life expectancy of up to 2 years. They reproduce with the onset of warmer weather. The females produce 10-70 young, up to 3 times a year. These are 2-3mm in length. The females retain the fertilized eggs in pouches. These pouches are situated on the legs and are filled with water. The young develop in these pouches and leave as small woodlice. Further brood care is not necessary. About 3 months later, the young woodli... | | |
| | Lygus pratensis reach body lengths of 6 - 7 mm. Their bodies are oval in shape and slightly flat. The males have a reddish brown to dark red upper surface, and the females, greenish-brown. The pronotum has a green base colour and the females’ has a dark spot on each side. The scutellum is heart shaped, bright in colour and has a black spot on its front edge, just behind the pronotum. | | |
| | Common flower bugs mate in late summer to autumn. The females overwinter under bark, leaves or grass tussocks. From March on, they leave their hideouts and start hunting small insects. After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the underside of leaves. The larvae hatch later and develop to maturity from May to June. The larvae of the 2nd generation develop within 8 weeks and are mature from September on.

The housefly has a proboscis and red compound eyes, which are farther apart on the head of the females than on the males. The housefly cannot sting. The life span of the housefly is approximately 16 to 24 days, the males mostly dying earlier than the females. | | |
| | The females lay their eggs in spring, on the underside of the leaves of the food plants of their larvae, on birch or elm, for example. The eggs are deposited in groups of 30 - 50. The females care for their brood by sitting on the eggs and fasting in order to stay and defend them against potential attackers such as ants, spiders, beetles, parasitic wasps and other enemies. Even after the larvae (nymphs) have hatched from their eggs, the ... | | |
