| ...the abdomen has dark brown bumps and dark brown bristles at the edges and in the middle. Their glands are dark brown and without hair. Their legs (3 pairs) are glossy dark brown to black. A few weeks after hatching, the larvae pupate on their food plants. One to two weeks later, the new generation of beetles hatch. Brassy willow beetles overwinter in the soil as adults.

| In May - June, matingtakes place. Oviposition also occurs in May - June in clutches of 60-70 eggs, which are laid on the lower surface of the leaves of the food plants of the hatching larvae. A female can lay up to 900 eggs. The eggs are approximately 0.5 x 0.9 mm in size, oval to cylindrical in form and ochre-yellow-orange in colour. | | |

| As pollinators of flowering plants, tawny mining bees are very important ecologically. Natural enemies of the tawny mining bee include the bees Nomada signata and Nomada panzeri. | | |
|
| Fertilized females bore holes into plants located on or just above the water surface and lay 20-30 eggs in total in these holes. The eggs overwinter. In the spring of the following year, the hatched larvae sink to the bottom of the water, where they stay for 2-3 years, until the end of t... | | |

| ...itors and prefer meadows in the vicinity of (deciduous) forests. They feed on pollen and the nectar of various flowers, such as Umbelliferae (Apiaceae), yarrow (Achillea), Scabiosa and roses (Rosa). Mating usually takes place on the blossoms of the plants they like to eat. The female uses its ovipositor to lay eggs in dry soil or cracks in wood. The larvae freely live in soil with mycelium of the fungus Marasmius oreodes. | | |
|
| Thick-headed flies prefer open, dry habitats and live on dry meadows, lawns, fields, roadsides and forest edges. The adult flies feed on the nectar of various flowers and plants such as aster, umbellifers, willow, black thorn and thistles. Thick-headed flies are active from May to September. | | |
|
| Cobweb spiders which live mostly sedentary lifestyles can live a long time. They spin large webs and catch insects at night. Sometimes they hunt for insects on plants or whilst on the ground. Their webs are labyrinth like and are created like cobs. When larger populations occur in a limited space, social communities can develop, in which cobweb spiders combine their webs with those of their neighbours. | | |
|
| The andromeda lace bug can multiply in large numbers and appears en masse. The bugs cause mottling on the leaves of plants. Egg-laying is carried out with the aid of an ovipositor. The eggs are very small and transparent and are sunk deep in the leaves’ tissue (usually on the underside). The eggs overwinter there. | | |
|
| ... Tetragnatha montana can be confused with the Tetragnatha extensa and the Tetragnatha pinicola. Tetragnatha montana prefer to live in the shade of vegetation or in sufficiently moist habitats near water. They are found on trees, shrubs, herbaceous plants or reed stems, in the vicinity of rivers, streams, lakes, ponds, pools or ditches. Even moorland, swamps and lowland forests serve as habitats. | | |

| ...e use of a special grip, the male spiders avoid the female’s deadly bite and leave after mating. In order to store the fertilized eggs, females produce a dark green cocoon , and encase it in a fine white web. . The cocoon is attached to parts of plants (mostly leaves) and is guarded and protected against predators by the mother until the young spiders hatch, which takes about 100 days. | | |
