The males can reach a length of 14 to 18 mm and have 5 spikes on the end of their abdomens.,which they use to defend their territory. Female Anthidium manicatum are 11 to 12 mm in length.

... Female Anthidium manicatum are 11 to 12 mm in length.
The Anthidium manicatum lives on nectar and pollen, which it collects from plants such as Stachys, sage or motherwort. It nests in pre-existing holes in earth, masonry or wood. The females build individual cells for their eggs using pieces of leaves bound together by a substance they secrete. They then supply each cell with pollen or nectar, before introducing an egg into the cell. After egg-laying the cell is sealed. When the l...
...with pollen or nectar, before introducing an egg into the cell. After egg-laying the cell is sealed. When the larvae hatch, they live on the pollen and nectar for weeks before pupating. The Anthidium manicatum reproduces once a year. The females are active from June to October, the males from June to September. On rainy days the animals take refuge in safe, waterproof cavities.

| | Halictus sexcinctus | | Halictus sexcinctus counts to the order of Hymenoptera and belongs to the bees (Apiformes). The specimens can reach body lengths of 13-16 mm. The ends of their abdomens’ segments are with wide, white bends. The males are slimmer built than the females. The antennae of males are longer than those of the females, and in the middle yellow to dark brown in colour.

| | | Meadow brown | | The meadow brown (Maniola jurtina) is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera) and the family Nymphalidae. It is common in Europe, North America and Asia. Meadow browns reach wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. In the females, the upper surface of the wings is dark brown. The front wings have a yellow-orange band, and a dark, round spot with a white centre which resembles an eye. The males are smaller and have a similar colouration. However, their "eyes" are not as big as those of the females. The undersides of the wings are yellow. There are "eyes" there too. The underside of the hind wings bears a jagged grey band. In the males this is a bit lighter. | | |
| | Adult Polyommatus icarus reach wingspans of 25 - 35 mm. Males and females vary greatly in terms of their colouration. In the males, the upper surface of the wings is blue with black and white edges, while in the females it is brown with orange markings. In both sexes the underside of the wings has black spots and the edges are marked with orange half moon shapes. | | |
| | ...lengths of 5-8 mm. The body is covered in hair and largely grey in colour with 4 dark, longitudinal stripes on the chest. The underside is yellowish. The housefly has a proboscis and red compound eyes, which are farther apart on the head of the females than on the males. The housefly cannot sting. The life span of the housefly is approximately 16 to 24 days, the males mostly dying earlier than the females. | | |
| Adult Eristalis (Eoseristalis) pertinax reach body lengths of 11 - 16 mm. Their bodies have a black base colour. The thorax is uniformly black in colour. In the males the entire abdomen is wedge-shaped and almost black in colour, with reddish-yellow markings on the second segment which do not extend onto neighbouring segments (as is the case in other Eristalis species). These markings have yellowish-brown hair. I...
...ire abdomen is wedge-shaped and almost black in colour, with reddish-yellow markings on the second segment which do not extend onto neighbouring segments (as is the case in other Eristalis species). These markings have yellowish-brown hair. In the females the markings on the 2nd abdominal segment are hard to make out because they are very indistinct. The brownish, feathery bristles on the antennae are a striking feature of the drone fly. The compound eyes are unusually large and touch in the males. The front legs of the drone fly are mostly reddish-yellow;the hind legs are on the whole much darker. | | |
| | The body size of adult heather spiders varies. Females reach body lengths of 7 - 9. 8 mm, while males are 2 to 3. 6 mm in length. As is the case with most species of crab spiders, the heather spider has a bizarre body shape with bumps and pits. The colour of the body in the males and females is also different. In some specimens the whole body is one colour. The body colour of the females can range from white to pink or yellow, depending on the colour of the flowers they are visiting. This colour adaptation is possible within a few days, with the colouring is supported (surface dissolution) by dots and stripes. Male Thomisus onustus ... | | |
| | On the front section of the body (prosoma), the foremost edge is elongated to both sides. In the males, the prosoma is yellowish-brown to dark brown. In pink females, the prosoma often has a wide, dark grey band at the edgesme. The prosoma is occasionally shiny and has a bright median stripe. The rear section of the body (opisthosoma) is shaped, more or less, like a triangle in both sexes. In the males, the opisthosoma is yellowish green to brownish. The yellow (or white) females bear yellow or pink stripes on their opisthosoma, while the pink coloured females are often spotted with white. | | |
| Adult Andrena fulva reach body lengths of 8-14 mm, the females being smaller than the males. Their bodies have a black base colour. From March, bright auburn hair begins to grow on the chest (thorax) and abdomen. The colouration varies, up to May, from golden to straw yellow.

...s have a black base colour. From March, bright auburn hair begins to grow on the chest (thorax) and abdomen. The colouration varies, up to May, from golden to straw yellow. The undersides of the head and body are covered in black hairs, though the males have only a little hair on the abdomen. | | |
| | Their heads are black, yellow or sometimes grey in colour with very large complex eyes, which almost touch in the middle of the head on the males and cover the sides of their heads like bowls. The eyes vary in colour from brown to bright red depending on species. The genitalia of the males are very large and are below the abdomen. The last pair of legs often have very broad feet hence the name "flat-footed flies". | | |
