| Sexual maturity is reached when the fly is fully developed and these insects mate several times between May and August. The fertilized females lay their eggs on rotting plants, aquatic plants or on the surface of water. | | |

| ... colour. They have compound eyes that are well developed, andantennae with 5 - 16 segments. The mouthparts are for biting and chewing. The forewings are short and . the hind wings are large and folded up and hidden under the forewings when these insects are at rest. At the posterior end of the abdomen is a pair of pincers, used for the capture of prey and for holding females during mating. | | |

| Earwigs prefer warm habitats. They feed on plant parts and waste, or live off small insects. They are most active at dusk or at night. During the day they hide under bark or stones. | | |
|
| The booklice live on different plants, tree trunks, under tree bark, in dead wood, bird nests and even in buildings. They eat fungi, spores, algae and lichens. Occasionally they also eat dead insects. Booklice need a medium to high humidity and temperatures over 15 degrees Celsius and are capable of absorbing water vapour directly from the air. New buildings and buildings with mould infestations are a favourite habitat of booklice. Here the book... | | |

| Scentless plant bugs | | Scentless plant bugs (Rhopalidae), also called rhopalid bugs, are a family of insects in the order true bugs, cicadas, hoppers, aphids and allies (Hemiptera and Rhynchota), the suborder true / typical bugs (Heteroptera), the infraorder Pentatomorpha and the superfamily Coreoidea. The scentless plant bugs are divided into two subfami... | | |

| ...h body lengths of 8-14 mm and are usually light coloured. They are easily identified by the numerous veins in their wings and their poorly developed scent glands. Scentless plant bugs prefer to live in fields, meadows and on trees. They are solitary insects but sometimes live sociably. | | |

| ...smaller than ichneumon wasps (Ichneumonidae).They are often black and brown, sometimes with reddish markings. Other species are clearly recognisable due to their eye-catching colours and patterns, while others are similar in appearance to other insects (Müller-mimicry complex). | | |
|
| The lifestyle of the braconids varies greatly. They represent an important environmental regulator and are suitable for biological pest control. The majority of species lay their eggs in the eggs, larvae or pupae of other insects. Some species of the subfamilies Mesostoinae and Doryctinae are therefore well known for depositing their eggs in plant leaves (they lay their eggs in bile). | | |
|
| ...the adults is often only a few days. The larvae live within almost all parts of plants. Some species inject their eggs into plant leaves on which a small ball grows with the eggs inside, other species live parasitically in the implantations of other insects. | | |
|
| Many species of Tephritidae cause considerable damage in agriculture and to orchards, while nets to protect against insects often are ineffective. | | |
