They feed on honeydew, which they find on the leaves of plants, but they mainly survive by preying on worms, small insects and their larvae. | | |
| | The females lay their eggs on rotting plants, under bark or in reeds, using a special ovipositor which enables them to bore holes. After hatching, the larvae feed initially on the surrounding plant substrates. In a later stage of their development they prey on small insects, just as the ad... | | |
| | | Eggs are laid either individually or in smaller groups on living or dead plants and can number as many as 5000. Occasionally, the eggs are also stored directly on the soil.
Approximately 4-6 weeks after oviposition (egg laying), the larvae hatch. At the end of their abdomen is an apparature by which they move ( like inchwo... | | |
| | ...September/October. They prefer habitats such as forest edges, riverbanks, streams, lakes, meadows and wetlands, where they can often be found on foliage and flowers in the sun. They live on sweet nectar and other fluids rich in carbohydrates from plants such as common hogweed (Heracleum sphondylium), coltsfoot (Tussilago farfara) and goat willow (Salix caprea). | | |

The female flies lay their eggs on dung-heaps or compost heaps. From the first or second day after hatching, the larvae begin feeding on feces or rotting parts of plants. At the end of their third larval stage the fully developed larvae turn into pupae. This happens in the dung or compost or in the soil below it. From egg to adult fly can take 14 to 32 days.
Parasitoid mites like Bonomoia sphaerocerae and Macro... | | |
| | Sepsis violacea prefer habitats such as deciduous forests, grasslands, dunes and water banks. It is very common in pastoral areas. The adults are active from February to October, and can very often be found on the plants Stellaria holostea and Tanacetum vulgare, whose nectar they live off. They can also be found on feces, which they land on not only to lay eggs, but also to eat (proteins, minerals). | | |
| | The females possess special glands to produce fibres which they use to build cocoons under water. Air is kept in these cocoons for the larvae to breathe. Water scavenger beetles feed on plants and rotting substances. Their larvae mostly live predatorily at the bottom of water bodies. Water scavenger beetles are very useful because they purify the water. | | |

After mating, the oviposition of the females happens in cocoons near the surface of water where the eggs are glued to water plants. Approximately 8-10 days later the larvae (with body lengths of 3-4 mm) hatch. They increase rapidly in size . The larvae feed (starting at the lastest three days after hatching) ) on smaller aquatic animals, and are even prone to cannibalism. In ... | | |
| | ... Polita can be confused with poplar leaf beetles (Chrysomela populi). Chrysolina Polita are encountered from March to October in different habitats, up to subalpine altitiudes. . Both the adult beetles and the larvae feed on the leaves of various plants, such as mint (water mint, cat mint), sage, or oregano.

| | The brassy willow beetle is active from May to September. It mainly feeds on the leaves of poplars and willow trees. The females lay their eggs on the food plants of the larvae, which are the same as those of the adult beetles.
