As it is not inclined to move much , it is mainly found on the undersides of the leaves of the host plants. It sucks fluid from the leaves’ cells , which causes the leaves to yellow and eventually fall off. Thus the whole plant loses its leaves from top to bottom . Often the host plants die. Some examples of the plants which the andromeda lace bug prefers to eat are : heather species (Ericaceae), Illiciaceae, rhododendron and azalea (rhododendron spp.) as well as some plants of the family Ebenaceae. | | |
| Painted lady caterpillars feed on a variety of different plant families, above all,mallow (Malvaceae), Compositae (Asteraceae), Cucurbits (Cucurbitaceae), legume (Fabaceae), wine grape (Vitaceae), borage (Boraginaceae) and cabbage (Brassicaceae). They particularly like the ordinary thistle (Cirsium vulgare)...

They particularly like the ordinary thistle (Cirsium vulgare), cabbage thistle (Cirsium oleraceum), Carduus thistles (Carduus sp.) and other plants from the thistle family. Painted lady caterpillars are also found on musk mallow (Malva moschata) and nettle (Urtica dioica). | | |
| | The fertilized females lay their eggs on the host plants of the larvae, or in the soil. The larvae feed as rootworms or mostly as leaf miners. Some species of larvae can cause considerable damage when they infest crops. This includes in particular, species of the genus Delia (Delia antiqua, Delia coarc...
... includes in particular, species of the genus Delia (Delia antiqua, Delia coarctata, Delia Floralis, Delia platura, Delia radicum) and the turnip fly (Pegomyia hyoscyami). The larvae of other species of root-maggot flies feed on fungus or rotting plant parts. Root-maggot flies overwinter in the soil as pupae. | | |

They themselves feed on tree sap , plant juices, nectar, fruits or honeydew. In autumn the young queens and drones hatch. In late September or early October the drones start fightings between themselves in order to fertilize the young queens. While the fertilized queens find hiding places... | | |
| | These beetles are diurnal and have a life expectancy of 1-2 months (females about 35 days) and live in heathlands, forests, forest edges, meadows and gardens. In terms of environment, what is important for these beetles is the presence of the plant dock (Rumex) which they eat. The adult beetles seldom fly but they move considerable distances on foot. They are active from March to October. The overwintering beetles from last year first appear in late March/early April after terminating diapause... | | |

The diet of the larvae is the same as the adults. If the plant they are on is disturbed while they are feeding, the larvae fall to the ground. Often, they are not able to find their way back to the food plants and run the risk of starvation. | | |
| Mature larvae are able to secrete a substance which drives away their competitors ,especially adult beetles of the same species, from the leaves of the forage plants. At the end of the third larval stage, the larvae dig down into the soil to a depth of about 2cm and pupate. After 6-9 days the adult beetles hatch from their pupae. They have a flight radius of about 10 metres. In late autumn they begin eating...
...us of about 10 metres. In late autumn they begin eating intensively and continue this over a period of a few days in preparation for the winter. When the beetles have consumed enough nutrients, they bury themselves in the soil close to the food plant at a depth of several centimetres and remain there until late March or early April. Among the natural enemies of Gastrophysa viridula are insectivores and parasites. | | |
| | Capsid bugs - Miridae | | The Miridae (plant bugs, leaf bugs and grass bugs) are also known as capsid bugs. They form a family within the order Hemiptera and Rhynchota (true bugs, cicadas, hoppers, aphids and allies), the suborder true bugs (Heteroptera) and the infraorder Cimicomorpha. | | |
| | ...arvae have a flat, uniform body, which gets thinner at the ends. The skin is leathery and due to calcium deposits, is like a shell. It also protects the larvae from drying out. The larvae live in compost, humus or manure where they feed on decaying plant debris (leaf debris, rotten tree bark etc). After reaching the final larval stage they overwinter. Insectivores, birds and spiders are all natural enemies of Chloromyia formosa. | | |
| | Scarab species may be diurnal or nocturnal. Adult beetles and larvae feed on decaying plant parts or on dung. Some species, such as Scarabaeus sacer, undertake an extraordinary high level of brood care, rolling manure into balls and keeping these in reserve as a food source for their larvae. Due to their ability to produce humus, these spe... | | |
