During a period of one to three months, Scoliidae females can lay 50 or more eggs. After egg laying the female leaves the tunnel. | | |
| | From April on, the larvae hatch. First they suck juice from the fresh leaves and the shoots of their host plants. The larvae (nymphs) are light green to deep green in colour and have orange-spotted antennae. In the 2nd to 4th larval stage, they swop over to herbaceous plants (potatoes, beets, strawberries, etc. ). | | |
| | | Eupteryx aurata prefer habitats with rich vegetation. This also includes water edges with herbaceous vegetation. They feed by sucking plant juices from single cells of leaf tissue (mesophyll). Tiny white spots can then be seen on the leaves as the saliva of Eupteryx aurata destroys chlorophyll. Their preferred food plants include nettles (Urtica), Labiatae (Lamiaceae) and potato (Solanum tuberosum). | | |
| | ...The females lay the first generation of eggs in spring in loose, moist soil or in damp meadows, in gardens or in cultivated land. The eggs are oval and about 1 mm in size and can number up to 1, 200. The larvae hatch after 15 days and feed on fallen leaves or on the roots of young plants. They can cause considerable damage in horticulture and agriculture. 300 to 400 larvae per square metre of usable area is not uncommon. The larvae pupate in the soil about 4 months after hatching. During this time, th... | | |

They prefer gardens or overgrown sunlit facades. Here they can be found on the leaves of herbs, shrubs, and climbing plants (ivy, wild wine), but rarely on such broad-leaf bushes as Syringa (Lilac). Due to its camouflaged appearance the Nigma walckenaeri is difficult to see. In the warmer parts of Europe, it lives in sunny forest edg... | | |
| | Nigma walckenaeri are diurnal and can be encountered from August to October (in and around buildings until December). 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. | | |
| | ...rnal and appear from May to August in diverse habitats such as deciduous forests, coniferous forests, mixed forests, forest edges, meadows, orchards, moors, copses, heaths, on the banks of bodies of water, in dunes and gardens. 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. | | |

The body surface can also be longitudinally striped or spotted. Diaea dorsata usually live on leaves, while colourful species are found on flowers, and darker species on tree trunks or near soil. | | |
| | 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. | | |
| | ...arvae 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). | | |
