| The caterpillar is green. It has a dark stripe on its upper surface. The last segment bears the forked tail. The meadow brown is found almost everywhere, but is rare above 1600 metres.
Eggs are laid on the soil or on grass. The caterpillars shed their skin twice. They overwinter and pupate in May. The cocoon is spun on a blade of grass and is yellowish-green. The next adult meadow browns emerge in June.
The meadow brown is active from June to September. It reproduces once a year. | | |
| | The larvae suck the juices from leaf stems and leaves. In a later stage of development they swop to flowers and grass seeds. The larvae become adults from July on and overwinter in soil, leaf litter or dry grass. | | |
| | | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs at the base of grasses (Poaceae). After hatching, the maggots eat their way into and through the young sprouts and later feed on the young leaves of the grass plants. Further growth of such plants can be disrupted by this, or even prevented. The damage patterns on grass plants vary. Ragged, cracked leaves, are often seen, as are swollen stems at ground level or near the ground, or the formation of 3 to 4 stalks on the same plant. Seedlings may be cut off at the base. The maggots reach body lengths of up to 5 mm. Ap... | | |
| | Queens overwinter. They appear in March or April. Bombus pascuorum nest both above ground (old birds’ nests) and below ground (abandoned mice nests). The bees use moss, grass and animal hairs to construct a hollow sphere inside the nest. The interior of the hollow sphere is sealed with wax. The queen then forms a small tub of wax, puts pollen in it and then lays 5 to 15 eggs on the pollen. It also builds a second, slig... | | |
| | 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 2n... | | |
| | Adult Stenodema laevigata reach body lengths of 7 - 10 mm. Their bodies are green, brown or yellow in colour according to the colour of their surrounding environment. As the colour of the grass changes throughout the seasons so does the colour of the bugs. Their heads are elongated and their eyes are positioned towards the back of the head. Their antennae and hind legs are very long. | | |
| | Ladybirds are found throughout the world, but more commonly in warmer climates. They live in forests, meadows, dry grass, moors, heaths, parks and gardens. Furthermore the length of the routes they fly varies: short when searching for food and long when searching for places to overwinter. Ladybirds often occur in swarms. | | |
| | Frit flies | Frit flies (Chloropidae), also known as grass flies, are a family of flies in the order Diptera and are encountered throughout the world. There are approximately 2000 species worldwide, 178 of which can be found in Central Europe. Some examples of frit flies are: Lipara lucens , Oscinella f...
... large numbers on lawns. Frit flies 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. | | |
| | Taurus fly | | ...e-shaped and extended. The legs are long , thin and from reddish-yellow to yellow in colour.
The Taurus fly feeds on the nectar of the various plant species whose blossoms she visits. The female lays her eggs on branches of trees or on blades of grass. The number of eggs (located singly or in or in small clusters) can amount to more than 1000.
The larvae are very small when they hatch. At the end of their abdomen is an apparature through which they can move like loopers (inchworms). The larv... | | |
