| Mosquitoes | | Mosquitoes (Culicidae) are a family of insects within the order two-winged flies (Diptera), the suborder thread-horns (Nematocera), the infraorder Culicomorpha and the superfamily Culicoidea. Mosquitoes have existed for about 170 million years. From a total of approximately 2700 species worldwide, 104 species can be found in Europe, almost all of which live in Central Europe. In most species only the females suck blood. | | |
| | Nematocera | | ...families are: Anisopodidae, Bibionidae, winter crane flies, crane flies, net-winged midges, blackfly, gall midges, biting midgets, dark-winged fungus gnats, minute black scavenger flies, phantom midges, phantom crane Flies, Chironomidae, moth flies, mosquitoes, Macroceridae, and fungus gnats. In Germany, mosquitoes and crane flies are the most common. | | |
| | | In almost every environment, mosquitoes live on bodies of water. The exceptions to this are the polar regions, deserts and altitudes of above 1500 metres. The body shape of mosquitoes varies but rarely exceeds 15 mm in length. Their bodies are slender, with relatively long legs. The wings are membranous and sometimes scaly. The head has 2 long antennae with many segments. The females also have a proboscis. The mouth parts of the ... | | |
| | After mating and fertilization female mosquitoes feed on blood which they suck from mammals, birds, reptiles or amphibians. This is essential for the formation of the eggs, as the blood supplies the protein required for this. All mosquitoes also feed on nectar or fruit juice. | | |
| | The rabbit hutch spider is active at night and moves back into narrow cavities in the daytime, as it is very shy The females prey on small insects (mosquitoes, flies or other species of spiders) which they either capture in their k web, or restrain on the ground. They are capable of overwhelming prey much larger than themselves likehouse spiders, for example. Males usually wander around. | | |
| | The adult (mature) Tetragnatha montana appear in the open from May to September and the earliest are already visible in February. They feed on flies and mosquitoes. It is for this purpose that they build small orb-webs (an upright web formed of threads radiating from a central point, crossed by radial links that spiral in from the edge) between branches and stems. The Tetragnatha montana lies stretched out, ... | | |
| | Phantom midges | | ... a family in the order two-winged flies (Diptera), the suborder thread-horned flies (Nematocera), the infraorder Culicomorpha and the superfamily Culicoidea is. In former times this family was classified as the subfamily Chaoborinae in the family mosquitoes (Culicidae). The Chaoboridae are divided into 2 subfamilies (Chaoborinae and Eucorethrinae), They come with comprising 5 genera and 19 species. In Europe 3 genera with 14 species are common. In Central Europe, more than 11 species can be encounter... | | |
| | ...commonly found throughout the world, especially in the Palaearctic. Adult phantom midges have slender and graceful bodies. They can reach body lengths of 2-10 mm. Their bodies are light yellow, greenish, or almost transparent and are reminiscent of mosquitoes. | | |
| | ... The long antennae of the males are feathered and comprise 13-15 segments. The pedipalps are divided into three to five segments. Dot eyes (ocelli) are not existing on them. The thorax (chest) has no continuous, V-shaped suture, as in the case of mosquitoes (Tipulidae). The wings of the females are black in colour and almost reach the end of their abdomen. The legs of the Chaoboridae are formed like stilts. | | |
| | Scarlet dragonflies prey on insects (flies, mosquitoes), or on spiders, which they catch while in flight. They have their own territory which they defend against rivals. The mating season of the scarlet dragonfly is from May to August in Central Europe, and from April to October in the Mediterranean. Ma... | | |
