...least 11 mm in length and are thus significantly larger than the males, whose body length does not exceed 11 mm. The body size is determined primarily by the food supply during the larval period. The male larvae are apparently less dominant than the females when feeding. | | |
| | The females lay their eggs in soil nests or ground nests. Either a new nest is dug, at an average depth of 30 cm, or the females look for pre-existing nests from other digger wasps. In the latter case they are not able to distinguish between already occupied and unoccupied nests, which often leads to violent clashes between them and the owners of the nest in the entrance area... | | |
| | | Forest bug feed by sucking out the insides of fruit. They occasionally kill other insects and suck dead other arthropods (insects, arachnids, crustaceans etc). After mating, the females lay their eggs on top of a leaf. The larvae overwinter - unlike those of other kinds of shield bugs - under the bark of trees, and their further development takes place on broad-leaved trees. | | |
| | This bug overwinters in the adult stage. It hides in fallen leaves, bark or in the hollow parts of plants. From May on the larvae hatch, which are green in colour and in July the adult stage is reached. The females lay their eggs on nettles on the upper side of the leaf stalks. Every year, a new generation emerges. | | |
| | Females are 20 to 28 mm in length. They overwinter in caves beneath the ground or in leaves. They lay their eggs in the spring, in mouse or mole holes, and even in walls or under rocks. The containments for pollen, honey and for the brood are built from wa... | | |

While the old queens usually die in the autumn the young fertilized queens seek safe homes. With the cold of coming winter huge numbers of worker wasps die from starvation and as a result many colony wasps become solitary... | | |

The legs have yellowish and black markings and the wings are brownish in colour. The females have a black forehead and yellow spots on their cheeks. Another characteristic of this fly, is its seemingly chaotic flight behaviour, throughout which it buzzes loudly. | | |

At the end of the abdomen the males have a genital segment, formed like a scorpion sting, while the end of the females’ abdomen is pointed and with a tubular organ for egg-laying. | | |

Moth flies are thus named due to their relatively large wings which are reminiscent of the wings of butterflies,. While the hairs of the males are in contrasting colors , the females are less remarkable in appearance. | | |
| | Maps prefer to live in damp areas with nettles, which blooms - in addition to those of the Velcro – are delivering food (nectar). In Germany, the map overwinters as a pupa. In April, the spring generation hatch, the males slightly earlier than the females. | | |
