The females attach each of the 100 to 600 oval, light to egg yolkyellow coloured eggs to the underside of leaves, in batches of 20-45. In its entire life cycle a female produces about 1,200 eggs. | | |
| | Mature larvae are able to secrete a substance which drives away their competitors ,especially adult beetles of the same species, from the leaves of the forage plants. At the end of the third larval stage, the larvae dig down into the soil to a depth of about 2cm and pupate. After 6-9 days the adult beetles hatch from their pupae. They have a flight radius of about 10 metres. In late autum... | | |
| | | Chloromyia formosa prefer wooded areas, copses, hedgerows, parks and gardens. They are diurnal and active from May to August. In sunny weather they can seen on leaves or on the umbels of the parsley family (hogweed). They usually eat pollen and nectar. Occasionally, however, they rely on animal manure substrates. | | |
| | ...with moist and sandy soil. Before mating, the flat-footed flies often appear in large swarms, in which they mark their territory by leaving scent marks on trees and shrubs. As they fly up and down they let their legs hang down. When encountered on leaves and on wet sandy soils, they can be identified by their zigzag movements. | | |
| | Paraplatypeza atra live on the organic debris from trees and herb leaves. The females lay their eggs on fungi, which the larvae feed on. The deer mushroom (Pluteus cervinus) is preferred. The larvae reach body lengths of 4-5 mm. Their yellow to brown bodies are shaped like isopods and have appendages of different sizes a... | | |
| | ...s Aclypea (although considered polyphagous i.e. feeding from a variety of sources), are pure herbivores that can cause tremendous damage in turnip fields when appearing en masse. Members of the species Silpha atrata lay their eggs on dry or decaying leaves or in the soil. Their larvae can also cause damage to young turnip plants. | | |
| | Lepidopterans usually only ingest liquid food (nectar, water). A few species live off animal excrement, urine, sweat, blood or even tears. Caterpillars often eat their own egg shells after hatching, and then feed on leaves, pine needles, flowers, seeds or fruits. Some caterpillars live as social parasites with ants. | | |
| | They prefer moist, shady, grassy habitats, and are mainly found in wet forest soils and water edges. They are found on thicker leaf litter, on wet rocks and very often on the underside of leaves. Most species of spear-winged flies reproduce by parthenogenesis. This means that their larvae hatch from unfertilised eggs. | | |
| | Scentless plant bugs mainly feed on soft materials - leaves, flowers, young stems - and herbaceous plants and can cause considerable damage to crops when they occur en masse. | | |
| | .... Female braconids have very long ovipositors, which can differ in length even within a species. The great length of the ovipositor, up to fourteen times the actual body length, is required for egg laying, which is often done by boring holes through leaves into the interior of caterpillars, which can have long spines or bristles for protection. An important characteristic of braconids is the rigid connection of their 2nd and 3rd abdominal segments. | | |
