Lace bugs feed solely on plants, either on individual plant species (monophagous) or on a limited number of plant families (oligophagous). This is reflected in the name of each species (hawthorn lace bug, sugarcane lace bug, avocado lace bug, azalea lace bug etc. ). Lace bugs sit on the flowers and leaf undersides of their host plants. These insects are rather inactive and mostly hide between plant’s hairs, spines or in deeper holes. When disturbed they are unlikely to escape. Lace bugs feed on plant juices, which they remove from the epidermis layer of the leaf undersides with their piercing and sucking mouth parts. When the leaf cells are empty, the damaged area is discoloured bronze or silver. Each individual spends its entire life on the one...

| | Female Drosophilidae lay up to 400 eggs in decomposing plant material or in other substrates, which the hatching larvae then feed on. The development of the larvae takes place in 3 stages over about two weeks. The larvae feed on dead parts of plants or rotting fruits. They mainly eat the microorganisms which are involved in the decomposition of plant materials. The larvae of other species are omnivorous and eat their way through plant stems or leaves. Others live off fungal cultures or prey on omnivorous insects. Drosophilidae reproduce several times a year. | | |
| | Scentless plant bugs | Scentless plant bugs (Rhopalidae), also called rhopalid bugs, are a family of insects in the order true bugs, cicadas, hoppers, aphids and allies (Hemiptera and Rhynchota), the suborder true / typical bugs (Heteroptera), the infraorder Pentatomorpha and the superf...
... rhopalid bugs, are a family of insects in the order true bugs, cicadas, hoppers, aphids and allies (Hemiptera and Rhynchota), the suborder true / typical bugs (Heteroptera), the infraorder Pentatomorpha and the superfamily Coreoidea. The scentless plant bugs are divided into two subfamilies (Rhopalinae and Serinethinae). The subfamily Rhopalinae includes the tribes Rhopalini, Chorosomini, Harmostini and Niestrheini.
The genera Arhyssus, Aufeius, Brachycarenus, Corizus, Chorosoma, Harmostes, Lio... | | |
| | Their larvae are up to 120 mm in length. The larvae prefer to live in and feed on rotting wood and develop in oak forests or in places where other plant material rots. During their development (3 to 5 years) they profit from the warmth created by the decomposition of the plant material. The mature larvae pupate in a cavity approximately the size of an egg, surrounded by a cocoon. The adult beetle hatches and remains in this dwelling for a few weeks. Adult rhinoceros beetles can be observed outdoors from June onwards. They... | | |
| | ...ides of the aphid out . They pupate in the hollowed out body of the aphid and after five days, the young adult wasps hatch. Some species specialize in spinning cocoons and live on their eggs.
Because the hatching wasps keep the populations of plant pests down, they are considered very useful. They are also actually used in agriculture to kill plant pests (aphids) or moths. | | |
| | Most specialized Miridae feed on plant juices. Others are carnivorous or omnivorous. To lay eggs, the female uses its ovipositor to bore into plant tissue. The larvae shed their skin five times before reaching adulthood. European species overwinter in the egg stage. | | |
| | Scentless plant bugs are commonly found throughout the world. They can reach body lengths of 8-14 mm and are usually light coloured. They are easily identified by the numerous veins in their wings and their poorly developed scent glands. Scentless plant bugs prefer to live in fields, meadows and on trees. They are solitary insects but sometimes live sociably. | | |
| | ... the first three weeks after hatching from their eggs they leave the place where they were born and explore the surroundings of the water’s edges. They then go back into the water. In the following spring they finally leave the water via outstanding plant stems. They free themselves from their larval casing ( exuvia) while hanging from the plant and after their wings have dried, fly away as young dragonflies. | | |
| | The eleven-spot ladybird lives in habitats with sandy soils and, for the most part, sparse vegetation, where it hunts and devours aphids on different plant species. Their larvae also prey on small insects such as aphids. The adult beetles overwinter in leaf litter or in other plant waste. | | |
| | Bees are vegetarians, mainly living on sweet plant juice. Pollen serves as their supply of protein. Some bees live in colonies. Most of the bees are solitary. Sometimes solitary bees live in small commons. The small commons primarily enable the solitary bees to rear their offspring together and tem... | | |
