They live on and in the soil and feed on small insects, snails, worms, or parts of plants (young shoots or pollen). Soldier beetle larvae overwinter under rocks, leaves, moss or bark. On sunny winter days they can be observed crawling in the snow (snow worms). | | |
| | Half-spotted stink bugs prefer warm, sunny coastal areas with sandy soils, dunes and rich deposits of flowering plants, in particular the parsley family (Apiaceae). From April to September the half-spotted stink bug can be found mainly on beach thistle (Eryngium maritimum). It feeds on various plant parts. The half-spotted stink bug is ready to reproduce in Septembe... | | |
| | | ... can be encountered in spring and summer in deciduous forests, coniferous forests, copses, forest edges and occasionally in the vicinity of human settlements. They live on trees and bushes at different heights, especially on tree trunks or on taller plants in the undergrowth. | | |
| | The thighs of the front legs are strong and dark and the knees are wide and light in colour. Coranus aegyptius are found on trees, bushes, plants, flowers and on the ground, where they lie in wait for their prey (mostly unspecialized eg arthropods). When they catch prey they can put it on the rostrum and inject saliva into it, thereby either paralyzing or killing it.
The larvae go through... | | |
| | ...in warm, dry regions, from the coast up to highland in forest edges, clearings, on stony slopes, in heathland, coastal meadows, dry meadows and calcareous grasslands (dry as well as damp) preferably with limestone soils and an abundance of flowering plants. Yellow rockrose (Helianthemum nummularium), soft cranesbill (Geranium molle), and Erodium cicutarium are among the most important crops for the adults. Here they collect nectar and pollen. | | |
| | Drone flies are commonly encountered everywhere from March to November. Their preferred habitats include open countryside, forest edges, parks and gardens. They are very often found on plants of the parsley family, and may appear there en masse especially in midsummer. They feed on the nectar of flowers, which they suck out with their proboscises, as well as on pollen, which they crush with their mouthparts. | | |
| | Eristalis lineata prefer to live in semi-open terrain. They can be encountered in sparse forests, at forest edges, in parks, gardens and on scrubland. The adults live off nectar, which they suck from flowering plants and shrubs such as common dogwood (Cornus sanguinea), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare), hemp-agrimony (Eupatorium cannabinum), thistles (Cirsium), valerian (Valeriana officinalis ) and canada goldenrod (Solidago canadensis). | | |
| | Eristalis lineata are active from April to October. The females lay their eggs in shallow, standing, muddy waters with a lot of decaying plants. After hatching, the larvae live in this water which they help to clean by eating rotting plant substrates. | | |
| | The holly blue prefers to live in forests and is seen from April to September. It produces 2 new generations a year. The females lay their eggs in holly and ivy, the food plants of their caterpillars, and also on Rubus, currants (Ribes), lupines (Lupinus), vetch (Vicia), Prunus, strawberry trees (Arbutus), common buckthorn (Frangula) and blueberries (Vaccinium). The pupae of the second generation overwinter, and the adult h... | | |
| | The females lay their eggs in summer on the underside of leaves on foliage plants. The caterpillars initially live in tissue. The caterpillars are brownish in colour. From October on, they can be found on the ground, where they feed on the fallen leaves of willows and oaks. | | |
