Anthomyia pluvialis are active from May to October. The males are often encountered in groups in the shade of trees. The adult flies feed on nectar and pollen from flowering plants, the females suck the blood of other insects or conspecifics.

Adult european hornets’ main tasks are brood care, protection of the nest against enemies, and the hunt, both by day and night,for insects such as flies, wasps, bees, moths, grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars or Odonata to feed the queen or the larvae. They themselves feed on tree sap , plant juices, nectar, fruits or honeydew. In autumn the young queens and drones hatch. In late September or ear...

...on. The deer mushroom (Pluteus cervinus) is preferred. The larvae reach body lengths of 4-5 mm. Their yellow to brown bodies are shaped like isopods and have appendages of different sizes according to what species they are. The larvae of flat-footed flies pupate at the end of the last larval stage, in or on the soil. The second generation overwinters in the larval stage.

They prefer moist, shady, grassy habitats, and are mainly found in wet forest soils and water edges. They are found on thicker leaf litter, on wet rocks and very often on the underside of leaves. Most species of spear-winged flies reproduce by parthenogenesis. This means that their larvae hatch from unfertilised eggs.

Adult lauxaniid flies reach body lengths of up to 5 mm. Their bodies are stocky and often bright yellow to yellowy-orange in colour. Their sparse hair and long dark bristles are very striking. The head bears large compound eyes which are often red. Many species have patt...
