Yellow rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium), soft cranesbill (Geranium molle), and Erodium cicutarium are among the most important crops for the adults. Here they collect nectar and pollen. | | |
| | ...everywhere from March to November. Their preferred habitats include open countryside, forest edges, parks and gardens. They are very often found on plants of the parsley family, and may appear there en masse especially in midsummer. They feed on the nectar of flowers, which they suck out with their proboscises, as well as on pollen, which they crush with their mouthparts. | | |
| | | Eristalis lineata prefer to live in semi-open terrain. They can be encountered in sparse forests, at forest edges, in parks, gardens and on scrubland. The adults live off nectar, which they suck from flowering plants and shrubs such as common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), hemp-agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), thistles (Cirsium), valerian (Valeriana officinalis ) and canada goldenrod (Solid... | | |
| | It feeds on nectar from thistles and cornflowers. In May or June the females lay about 100 to 300 eggs in groups on the host plants, on the undersides of the leaves. The caterpillars hatch after about 2 weeks and are yellowish-green and spotted black. They eat in grou... | | |
| | ... various habitats, but prefer green fields with plenty of flowering plants and damp areas such as ditches or ponds. However the occurrence of this species is not confined to wetlands. These hoverflies often fly long distances in search of pollen and nectar. Among the numerous flowering plants they visit are: thistle, goldenrod (Solidago), Aegopodium podagraria, Senecio, oregano (Origanum) and hogweed (Heracleum). As pollinators of these plants, Helophilus trivittatus play an important ecological role.... | | |
| | ...stoma scalare are encountered at almost all altitudes and in almost all habitats including open woods and forest edges, they are, however, most frequently found in grasslands. The adults are active from April to September. They drink liquids such as nectar and chew pollen, which they find on umbellifers or grasses. | | |
| | Melanostoma mellinum prefer habitats such as grasslands or forest edges with medium to high humidity. The adults are active from April to September. The hoverflies suck up liquids such as nectar and chew the pollen, they find on members of the parsley family, yellow composite flowers, ivy, grasses, plantain, mints or hogweed. You often encounter Melanostoma mellinum in damp, cool weather because there is less competition for food. | | |
| | Anthrenus pimpinellae are commonly found in buildings or birds’ nests, as the females lay their eggs there. The adult beetles have a short life span. They feed on pollen or the nectar of various flowering plants, while the larvae live off animal hair, feathers or substances from these. The black to dark brown, hairy larvae are sensitive to light and find dark hiding places. By the time of pupation they have reached body lengths o... | | |
| | The life span of Bibio clavipes is very short. This species is one of the few bibionids, which are active in September. Bibio clavipes feed on nectar and honeydew and do not sting.
Bibio clavipes reproduce once a year. During mating season, partners come together in large swarms. Fertilization of the females starts in the air and is completed on the ground. | | |
| | ...pike to dig with on their forelegs. The colour of the male and female Bibionidae is different, the male being black and the female being reddish brown to amber. In spring and autumn Bibionidae often swarm en masse. They do not sting and they feed on nectar or honeydew. They contribute to the pollination of fruit trees. The insects mate within the swarm, and the males of the Bibio marci for example can become very aggressive. While the Nematocera are generally good flyers, i. e. the Bibio hortulanus ar... | | |
