Field digger wasps, and their brood, feed on flies. In addition, they seek out Umbelliferae or animal faeces (eg cow dung). When the field digger wasp sees a fly, it sneaks up, jumps on it and may fall with it to the ground. There, it paralyzes the fly and transports it to the nest. It may also happen that the field digger wasp does not paralyze the caught fly, but ‘kneads’ it until liquid comes from its mouth, which is then eaten by the field digger wasp. | | |
| | Marmelade fly | | The marmelade fly (Episyrphus balteatus) is a species in the family hoverflies (Syrphidae). | | |
| | | Their appearance is eye catching. They can, however, easily be confused with wasps, as they look deceptively similar to them (mimicry). Unlike wasps, they only have one pair of wings (Diptera) and are not hairy. The marmelade fly is found from May to August in wetlands, forests and mountains all over Europe. Thelarvae feed on aphids and certain other small creatures. The adult marmelade fly lives off the nectar and pollen of many flowers and is considered a pollinator. | | |
| | The common green bottle fly uses its proboscis to suck up liquids from carrion and nectar from flowers. The female common green bottle flies lay their eggs on carrion, which the larvae then feed on when they hatch.
The Common green bottle fly larvae are considered useful as they are used as fishing bait, animal feed and today (once again) in the treatment of wounds.

The body of the blow-fly is compact and often shiny metallic blue, green or golden-green in colour. In addition to their well developed compound eyes and antennae, the blow flies use their sense of touch (feet and legs) for guidance. The smell sensors are also located on th... | | |
