The females have a tubular organ (ovipositor) on the abdomen with which they insert their eggs directly in plants and fruits. | | |
| | The life span of the adults is often only a few days. The larvae live within almost all parts of plants. Some species inject their eggs into plant leaves on which a small ball grows with the eggs inside, other species live parasitically in the implantations of other insects. | | |
| | | The adult wasps are mainly found on umbelliferae flowers, mint, thistle or golden rod plants. The larvae mostly live as parasites in the nests of some kinds of bees or wasps, e.g. digger wasps or solitary wasps. The fertilized females lay their eggs in spring in the nests of their larvae’s hosts. This happens near the brood’s site, whi... | | |
| | Geomyza tripunctata occur from the coast to high mountains and prefer wet or dry meadows and forests, where they can be found from May to November on grasses and herbaceous plants. In mild winters they may be seen in January. | | |
| | ...The larvae need to stay at the bottom of the water for about 1 year in order to develop. They live off captured micro-organisms until they are about 19 mm in length. At the end of their development, the larvae leave the water by crawling up parts of plants. After hatching from their outer shell (exuviae), the adult dragonflies dry and begin to fly. In Central Europe, the scarlet dragonfly produces 1 new generation a year, in the Mediterranean, 2 are possible. | | |
| | ...ifferent habitats. They prefer deciduous forests, clumps of bushes or meadows with open areas. These beetles are diurnal and are often found on hawthorn or the parsley family, where they feed on pollen, nectar or parts of flowers. The preferred food plants of the adult beetles also include thistle(Cirsium arvense), orchid, chervil and hogweed. | | |
| | ...th trees. It is found almost exclusively in sunny places with old, sick or dying oak trees, in which its larvae develop. However, it completely avoids dead wood. Occasionally, it is also found on hornbeam (Carpinus), chestnut (Castanea), locust bean plants (Ceratonia), ash (Fraxinus), walnut (Juglans), pears (Pyrus), black locust (Robinia), willow (Salix) and elm (Ulmus). The great capricorn beetle feeds on tree sap expired from injured mature trees or tree fruits. | | |
| | ...untered from May to September in deciduous forests, in forest clearings, forest edges, forest meadows and wet meadows, as well as in parks or large gardens. The adult beetles are diurnal and can be found sitting on small trees and a variety of other plants (Umbelliferae, Asteraceae) where they feed on pollen, nectar and young leaves. When they occur en masse, they can cause considerable damage to vegetation. Amonsgt their natural enemies are: insect-eaters, birds and spiders. | | |
| | Their bodies are elongated. The abdomen has 9 segments. The females have a short ovipositor, shaped like a saw. The females cut into plants and lay their eggs with the ovipositor. The larvae of some species live in leaf courses, while others live in galls. | | |
| | The larvae resemble caterpillars. They have segmented legs attached to the chest and 6 to 8 pairs of hind legs. They have two simple eyes. The larvae feed on the leaves or the fruit of various trees, shrubs and herbaceous plants. They often appear in groups on leaves which they eat from outside in. They often “ride” on the leaves’edges while eating and - raise up their abdomen when disturbed. | | |
