The beetle prefers to live in forests. The adults fly at night close to the ground making a loud humming sound. In the spring males and females dig a 40 cm long underground tunnel for mating, which leads into several chambers, which can be reached through temporary tunnels. In the chambers, balls of dung are placed before the larvae as a future food supply. The side passages to the chambers are then filled with feces ... | | |
| | Armadillium (Pill woodlice) | | ..., black-grey or brownish-grey, , the females have bright spots. The surface of the armadillium is smooth. The armadillium has a high resistance to water shortages. Therefore, it is also found in forest edges and ruderal on plants growing on waste ground or among refuse.
The females breed up to 3 times a year. Depending on the size of the female, from 20 to 160 young isopods hatch.

| | The firebugs particularly like living in sunny places on the ground beneath lime and mallow family (rosemallow, Althaea, Malva), where they encountered their hundreds. Firebugs suck to the falling seeds of these plants. In addition, they nourish the seeds of the black locust. In addition the animals suck stems and l... | | |
| | The young ants overwinter twice in the nest which is built in the dead wood of trees and located up to three metres in height. The major part of the nest is under the soil. Some nests are only in the ground. After reaching sexual maturity, the young ants swarm from the nests on warm afternoons in May and June New colonies can be founded either by individual queens or by several Queens. In the latter case the eggs of the queens are stored commonly in a... | | |
| | Natural enemies of the ladybird are: ground beetles, Reduviidae , birds, lizards, shrews and frogs. The Dinocampus coccinellae (a parasitoid wasp) is a specialized enemy. Certain Hymenoptera, aphids and nematodes also have a harmful, parasitic relationship with ladybirds. | | |
| | ...Elasmostethus interstinctus prefer to live in sunny habitats, where they can be found on deciduous trees and shrubs. They eat or suck out the juices from the flowers of beech, alder and hawthorn, and occasionally those of herbaceous plants near the ground.
The larvae of Elasmostethus interstinctus live from June to August. They reach their adult stage in September and then overwinter. | | |
| | It is reported that ants domesticate or enslave other ants from different colonies. Ants which form permanent nests most frequently live beneath the ground. Other forms of dwelling are hill nests, wood nests or silk nests. | | |

Egg-laying is done either directly on the ground or in frothy cocoons. European locusts - in contrast to the tropical species - develop in 6 larval stages. Locusts usually spend the winter in the egg state but there are species which overwinter as larvae or adults. Orthoptera can be herbivores or... | | |
| | Mating occurs in spring and the males die afterwards. Shortly thereafter, the females start building the nest on bare, dry, sandy soil sites. For this purpose they dig a main gallery, which is up to 60 cm deep and leads into the ground, and into diverse brood cells (incubators). The entrance to the nest looks like a crater surrounded by a small mound. The brood cells are filled with a pulp of pollen and nectar by the females and afterwards they lay an egg on this mixture. A f... | | |

Having found a good landing point, they put their abdomen on the solid ground and move themselves backwards with tracking the prey over the shore. They crush them with their mandibles. The exoskeleton of the prey gets covered over and over again with intestinal secretions. The prey is then kneaded into a pulpy mass which can... | | |
