| | The larvae of the phantom midges live (standing vertically) in water. Their body is transparent (glass rods larvae). They have antennae, which are also shaped in such a way as to function as holding devices for the capture of small insects (eg mosquito larvae) or crustaceans (eg Daphnia). The antennae are used to impale the prey, to crush it and to guide it into the larvae’s mouth. | | |
| | | Chironomids | | The Chironomids (Chironomidae) are a family of insects in the order two-winged flies (Diptera), the suborder Nematocera, the infraorder Culicomorpha and the superfamily Chironomoidea. The Chironomidae are divided into the following subfamilies: Aphroteniinae, Buchonomyiinae, Chilenomyinae, Chironomin... | | |
| | The bodies of Chironomus atroviridis are medium in size, soft-skinned and delicate. The mouthparts of these insects are not suitable for stinging or sucking blood. Their antennae have discrete groups of hairs on their surface which are capable of improving their ability to detect vibrations. The chest (thorax) is very arched. The wings are well developed a... | | |
| | During the mating season, these insects can be encountered in large swarms, searching for mates. They are of great importance in the food chain because of their large numbers, as they are used by many birds as a staple food for their offspring. | | |
| | Anthomyia pluvialis are active from May to October. The males are often encountered in groups in the shade of trees. The adult flies feed on nectar and pollen from flowering plants, the females suck the blood of other insects or conspecifics. | | |
| | Vespa crabro reproduce once a year. As a social wasp, it counts among the colony building insects. The colony has a life span of one year. The population comprises 100 to 700 (in extreme cases up to 1000) hornets. | | |
| | Due to its appearance the european hornet can be confused with some other flying insects, for instance, the hornet mimic hoverfly (Volucella zonaria), the moths Sesia bembeciformis and Sesia apiformis, as well as some members of the family Cimbicidae. Vespa crabro are easily confused with oriental hornets (Vespa orientalis), and t... | | |
| | ...his end she first builds a honeycomb, which she covers with a paper-like mass made from chewed wood. The queen lays fertilized eggs in this honeycomb. After the larvae have hatched the queen takes care of the brood, feeding the larvae with insects and spiders until they pupate in early June. These larvae will become the female workers. As soon as the young female workers have left their pupae, they take over nearly all activities of the queen, who then almost exclusively lays eggs, up to ... | | |
| | Adult european hornets’ main tasks are brood care, protection of the nest against enemies, and the hunt, both by day and night,for insects such as flies, wasps, bees, moths, grasshoppers, beetles, caterpillars or Odonata to feed the queen or the larvae. They themselves feed on tree sap , plant juices, nectar, fruits or honeydew. In autumn the young queens and drones hatch. In late Se... | | |
