| Fertilized females bore holes into plants located on or just above the water surface and lay 20-30 eggs in total in these holes. The eggs overwinter. In the spring of the following year, the hatched larvae sink to the bottom of the water, where they stay for 2-3 years, until the end of their development. The larvae feed on micro-organisms. They reach body lengths exceed... | | |
| | Bees build hexagonal combs of wax which are used for rearing the young and the storage of pollen and honey. To prevent the introduction of diseases into the hive, cracks and small holes are blocked with an antibiotic "putty", made from tree resin and pollen, called propolis. In addition, all surfaces (including inside the combs) are sealed with a thin film of propolis. | | |
| | Females are 20 to 28 mm in length. They overwinter in caves beneath the ground or in leaves. They lay their eggs in the spring, in mouse or mole holes, and even in walls or under rocks. The containments for pollen, honey and for the brood are built from wax. When the labor force hatches the nest expands to accommodate up to 500 bumblebees. Nests in soil can have a depth of 1.5 metres. Bombus terr... | | |
| | ...is found in Europe, Central Asia and North Africa from April to September. It mainly lives in gardens, where it can be found on Apiaceae or Umbelliferae (hogweeds, carrots etc). Its larvae develop in small, muddy bodies of water, but also in rotting holes filled with water in the branches of trees. | | |
| | ...ectar and pollen from a variety of plants. The flight period of queens begins in April, (that of the young Bombus sylvarum in July) and ends in late October. A colony comprises 80 to 100 insects. The nests are built in small animal burrows (mice holes). | | |
| | Wool Carder Bee / Leafcutting Bee (Anthidium manicatum) | | ...,which they use to defend their territory. Female Anthidium manicatum are 11 to 12 mm in length.
The Anthidium manicatum lives on nectar and pollen, which it collects from plants such as Stachys, sage or motherwort. It nests in pre-existing holes in earth, masonry or wood. The females build individual cells for their eggs using pieces of leaves bound together by a substance they secrete. They then supply each cell with pollen or nectar, before introducing an egg into the cell. After ... | | |
| | The females lay their eggs singly, in clusters or in rows on their forage crops. Some species hide their eggs in holes in leaves, stems or twigs. Others cover their eggs with feces. The Donaciinae live both on water as well as on water plants. Here is the egg laying in a kind of jelly. The eggs are laid in rows on leaves. The larvae bore their heads in roots, stems ... | | |
| | Anomoia purmunda live in forests edges and are common in gardens. They are active from April to autumn. This species reproduces once a year.
The fertilized females of Anomoia purmunda lay their eggs in holes bored into the fruit of hawthorn. The larvae develop in the fruit and feed on it. In autumn they pupate and overwinter in the soil. | | |

The adult flies have a life span of about 1 week and only feed on vegetables (phytophagous). Aside from the open air, they are mainly encountered in greenhouses. After hatching from pupae, the females start feeding immediately. They drill small holes in the top surface of plants’ leaves using their ovipositors and suck up liquid with their mouth parts. The damaged areas on the leaf tissue (which also enable bacteria and fungi to penetrate into the plant) are clearly visible as yellowish stai... | | |
| | The females lay their eggs on rotting plants, under bark or in reeds, using a special ovipositor which enables them to bore holes. After hatching, the larvae feed initially on the surrounding plant substrates. In a later stage of their development they prey on small insects, just as the adultsdo. After the last larval stage, the larvae pupate. The pupae are spun in a coco... | | |
