...the vicinity of water. Different species are common in different areas. They feed on blood, which they suck from mammals, birds, reptiles or amphibians. Crane flies, from which a total of about 4000 species are known, are not among the blood-sucking insects. They feed on nectar or water. While the Nematocera have a bad reputation amongst humans because their bites can be painful and can cause allergies and transmit germs, the crane fly (larval stage) is regarded as a useful animal, because the diet a...

...s. Even nests of 7000 wasps are not uncommon. The nests can have a circumference of 2 meters. The division of labour is organised in the colony. The intensity of the brood care is like that of the bees. The larvae of Vespidae are fed on the meat of insects.

...s or house walls. They do not nest in dark cavities. The nest is made from a paper-like material, mostly won made of poplar bark. The nest includes brood cells, where the eggs are stored and the larvae develop. The larvae are fed a meat pulp made of insects, preferable Diptera. When the first female workers have hatched, further construction of the nest, and the provision of food supplies for the larvae is their responsibility. A colony can accommodate as many as 200 wasps. The nest can grow to approxi...

...e. The antennae are yellow from the 3rd segment on. The underside of the last abdominal segment is yellow. The European paper wasp lives in open, warm habitats and is often found in human settlements. The adults feed on nectar and the larvae prey on insects.

...uits. They mainly eat the microorganisms which are involved in the decomposition of plant materials. The larvae of other species are omnivorous and eat their way through plant stems or leaves. Others live off fungal cultures or prey on omnivorous insects. Drosophilidae reproduce several times a year.

Mayflies
Mayflies (Ephemeroptera), also called dayfly, shadfly, green bay flies, canadian soldier, lake fly and fishfly, are an order of flying insects. Mayflies have existed since about 200 million years ago. Approximately 2800 species are found worldwide, over 100 of which are encountered in Central Europe. Some examples of these species are: Tisza mayfly (Palingenia longicauda), brown mayfly (Ep...

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 2nd generation develop within 8 weeks and are mature from September on.
