| ...f their brood until autumnwhen the young spiders hatch from the eggs. The main enemy of the young are the larvae of the ichneumon wasps Tromatobia lineatoria. Chickadees (Paridae) are the primary natural enemy of adult Philodromus dispar. The spider overwinter behind the bark of dead trees. | | |

| ...ed eg arthropods). When they catch prey they can put it on the rostrum and inject saliva into it, thereby either paralyzing or killing it.
The larvae go through 5 larval stages (shedding their skin each time) to reach maturity. Coranus aegyptius overwinter as larvae or adults. | | |

|
| After mating, the females lay about 150 - 320 eggs in colonies of aphids, which are the food for their larvae. The larvae overwinter and pupate in spring of the following year. | | |

| ...ly and ivy, the food plants of their caterpillars, and also on Rubus, currants (Ribes), lupines (Lupinus), vetch (Vicia), Prunus, strawberry trees (Arbutus), common buckthorn (Frangula) and blueberries (Vaccinium). The pupae of the second generation overwinter, and the adult holly blues hatch in April. | | |
|
| Hedychrum rutilans ichneumous lives off bee wolf larvae. Female Hedychrum rutilans lay their eggs on the mother bee wolf or on the prey she’s carrying and in this way the Hedychrum rutilans larvae gain access to the bee wolf’s nest. Bee wolf larvae overwinter as pupae and hatch as adults in June of the following year. | | |

| ... with a rough hexagonal pattern. The caterpillars are brownish to reddish in colour. A wide, white stripe is present, while the back line is blurry pronounced. The caterpillars eat different kinds of clover and alfalfa. The moths visit flowers. They overwinter. The first adult moths emerge in mid April of the following year. | | |
|
| ... The abdomen is yellowish green now and has red spots on its axis in the middle. During the 8th day the final moult occurs and the adult bug emerges. After another 4 weeks, the southern green stink bug is sexually mature. The last generation a year, overwinter as adult bugs. | | |
|
| Meal moths are active from June to August. The caterpillars occur in September and are considered pests. They cause damage flour products and are making them inedible. The caterpillars overwinter once or twice. In May they pupate. The meal moth can produce up to 5 new generations a year, depending on conditions. | | |

| ...re exposed to the sun. Omocestus rufipes are active from the beginning of July to November and feed on grasses.
The fertilized females lay their eggs in summer or autumn in the root zone of plants or in the upper 2 cm of the soil layer. The eggs overwinter there. The larvae hatch in the spring and develop through four larval stages from June to November to become adults. | | |
|
| ...These hairs later form spiky projections.
The chest segments of the larvae are equipped with 10 pairs of invertebrate tracheae which supply the larvae with oxygen. The larvae can be very large. The larvae of Bibio clavipes are cold resistant and overwinter. They are herbivores but can also feed on carrion. They feed on both living and dead plants. At the end of their development, the larvae pupate in the soil. The pupae are equipped with breathing horns which lengths are limited. | | |
