...to 15 mm and can be black or grey. They have a marking on their abdomens which resembles a chessboard and dark stripes, lengthwise on their chests. The mouth parts are designed to suck up liquids and they feed on nectar, resin from trees, rotting fruits and honeydew.

Drosophilidae
...roximately 50 of which can be found in Germany. Drosophilidae are usually 2 mm in length but can reach body lengths of 1-6 mm. They live in forests, forest edges and in areas populated by humans. They prefer compost heaps and all places in which fruits are stored or grown. Many species are thus described as hemerophilous.

...ilidae lay up to 400 eggs in decomposing plant material or in other substrates, which the hatching larvae then feed on. The development of the larvae takes place in 3 stages over about two weeks. The larvae feed on dead parts of plants or rotting fruits. They mainly eat the microorganisms which are involved in the decomposition of plant materials. The larvae of other species are omnivorous and eat their way through plant stems or leaves. Others live off fungal cultures or prey on omnivorous inse...

The red admiral is found in almost every environment. It feeds on the nectar of Eupatorium or ivy blossoms and on the juices of fallen fruits. Red admiral caterpillars are black and yellow. They feed exclusively on large nettles and are solitary, living on leaves joined together with their silk. The red admiral is a migrant species and flies to Northern Europe in May. It returns to Southe...

...uses and compost heaps. An adequate level of humidity is important, since their gills can only absorb oxygen, when combined with a film of water. Common woodlice are active during both day and night, but prefer the darkness. They feed on plants, fruits and vegetables. Woodlice are preyed on by a variety of birds. 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 l...

Frit flies
...ies also often enter human dwellings, en masse where they are perceived as an annoyance. Frit flies feed on sugary liquids such as nectar or honeydew. The females lay their eggs on the leaves of plants (mostly grasses), mushrooms, flowers or fruits. The hatched larvae then live inside the plants on which they feed. Some species of larvae prey on insects, other species feed on dead plant parts.

...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 early October the drones start fightings between themselves in order to fertilize the young queens. While the fertilized queens find hiding places to overwinter , the re...

...terans usually only ingest liquid food (nectar, water). A few species live off animal excrement, urine, sweat, blood or even tears. Caterpillars often eat their own egg shells after hatching, and then feed on leaves, pine needles, flowers, seeds or fruits. Some caterpillars live as social parasites with ants.
>> Moths & Butterflies
Their preferred food plants are: St. John's wort (Hypericum perforatum), Geranium robertianum and Clinopodium vulgare in addition to various other herbaceous plants. They feed on plant juices or juice from seeds and fruits.
