| | Adult Xylocopa violacea fly in summer, autumn and the following spring. Their main food sources are pollen and nectar. People are rarely stung by Xylocopa violacea. | | |
| | While the males in autumn die after mating, the females overwinter hidden. In spring they dig a nest, which consists of the main course (leading diagonally into the earth) and several short side galleries leading to the cells for the brood. They lay one egg only in each brood cell. The egg is located on a nectar pollen mixture, which (as food for the larvae) also is introduce... | | |
| | Sitona gressorius prefer to live in marginal areas, where lupins are naturally present or are grown. Since 1999, they have been occurring on mass in the main lupin production areas in Germany causing extensive damage. The adult beetles feed on the margins of the leaves, especially on young plants, and leave jagged edges like those on stamps, while their larvae feed on the roots of the plants. The leaflet... | | |
| | Mating occurs in spring and the males die afterwards. Shortly thereafter, the females start building the nest on bare, dry, sandy soil sites. For this purpose they dig a main gallery, which is up to 60 cm deep and leads into the ground, and into diverse brood cells (incubators). The entrance to the nest looks like a crater surrounded by a small mound. The brood cells are filled with a pulp of pollen and nectar by th... | | |

These stripes, which are lengthwise and become furrow shaped at the rear end, are the main distinguishing feature of the water scavenger beetle. Additional rows from irregular posited series of points appear in the space between the rows from regular posited points. The legs of the beetle are yellowish, yellow-brown or rust-colored.

... or honeydew. In autumn the young queens and drones hatch. In late September or early October the drones start fightings between themselves in order to fertilize the young queens. While the fertilized queens find hiding places to overwinter , the remainder of the population dies with the first night frosts. | | |
| | Rhogogaster viridis can be confused with the species Rhogogaster picta and Rhogogaster punctulata. The striking, predominantly green colouration and lack of markings on the sides of the body are the main distinguishing features of Rhogogaster viridis. | | |
