The host insects try to prevent the rubytail wasps from entering their nests, however the latter are not only equipped with a strong chitin-armoured surface, but are also able to roll their bodies and thus significantly can reduce their body surface. This protects t... | | |

Approximately 14 days after the rubytail wasp larvae hatch, even the food supplies of their hosts (only insects, no pollen) have been consumed, and they spin a cocoon for themselves in the host’s nest and pupate, either immediately, and then either to fly as another summer generation in the same year, or to overwinter inside of the cocoon. This assumes that t... | | |

In the morning, after sunrise, they build a transparent tissue, on the upper surface of leaves with upward curving edges, which resembles a tent and serves as a shelter. In order to build a web to catch insects, separate fibres of silk are excreted from the spinnerets into many extremely fine fibres, giving the web a wooly structure. | | |

They are found on the leaves, branches and stems of herbaceous plants, trees and shrubs where they prey on insects. Once they have chosen their prey, they overwhelm it quickly and administer a paralyzing and fatal bite. | | |
| | ...as web building spiders, they capture prey by ambushing them without creating a web. As they are good climbers, they are also found on high plants. They benefit from their colouration in two ways. Firstly, they reflect UV light and therefore attract insects. Secondly, they are able to adapt to the colour of their hunting ground (within a few days is possible) and as a result are only observed by their prey when it is too late. They grab the prey with their front legs with lightning speed and kill them ... | | |
| | Soldier beetles live in forests, fields, meadows and gardens, where they can be found on blossoms or leaves, often in groups. They are diurnal and feed on insects or parts of plants. | | |
| | The larvae of soldier beetles have long, soft bodies, which are often a velvety dark colour. They live on and in the soil and feed on small insects, snails, worms, or parts of plants (young shoots or pollen). Soldier beetle larvae overwinter under rocks, leaves, moss or bark. On sunny winter days they can be observed crawling in the snow (snow worms). | | |
| | Philodromus dispar prey on other insects. They are fast runners and skilled hunters and do not build webs, but capture their prey on the move. It sucks out its prey insect. In the case of danger, they press themselves flat to the ground. If they are attacked, they imitate crab spiders, lif... | | |

The abdomen, however, is red in colour. The head of these insects is slightly round in shape. The distance between their eyes and the base of the antennae is about the same distance as between the eyes and the back of the head. The fourth segment of the antennae (which are always bent) is about the same length as ... | | |
