After mating, the fertilized females lay their yellowish to reddish-brown eggs, individually or in small groups, on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae are yellowish after hatching and resemble caterpillars. They have 8 small pairs of legs attached to the abdomen. Their antennae have 4 - 5 segments.

...their larvae. The larvae are yellowish after hatching and resemble caterpillars. They have 8 small pairs of legs attached to the abdomen. Their antennae have 4 - 5 segments. The larvae of Tenthredo campestris feed on the leaves of various herbaceous plants, trees and shrubs. Their food of preference is ground-elder (Aegopodium podagraria). When disturbed, the larvae curl into a "S" and resemble small snakes. En masse these larvae can cause major damage to shrubs and trees.

...ns a year. It is active in the period from May to October. The caterpillars appear from May to August. The butterflies live on forest roads, forest edges, brush (willow, hazel and elm) and in gardens, where they eat nectar preferably from gooseberry plants, hops, flowering garden plants and summer lilac. In midsummer, they are often encountered on fallen fruits.

The females lay their eggs on the underside of the leaves of the caterpillar’s forage plants, for example on willow, hazel, fluttery elm, field elm, mountain elm, hops, great nettle, gooseberry and raspberry plants. Around 250 eggs are laid separately. 2 - 3 weeks later the solitary caterpillars hatch. During the day they stay on the underside of the leaves. The larval stage lasts 6 weeks and then the caterpillars pupate. The pupae are striking; the middle is ...

Conops flavipes are active during the day and can be observed on flowering plants from June to August in Central Europe, where they feed on pollen and nectar. Their preferred food plants include field scabious (Knautia arvensis), oxeye daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) and common daisy (Bellis perennis). The flies are sexually mature after reaching adulthood and mate in April or May.

From April on, the larvae hatch. First they suck juice from the fresh leaves and the shoots of their host plants. The larvae (nymphs) are light green to deep green in colour and have orange-spotted antennae. In the 2nd to 4th larval stage, they swop over to herbaceous plants (potatoes, beets, strawberries, etc. ).

...mmer weather. The eggs of the second generation overwinter in the bark of the sprouts of roses. The larvae, hatch in the spring and possess only rudimentary wings. The adult cicadas (fully developed and equipped with wings) move to their summer host plants in June, as well as to plants of the genus Capsicum. From mid-August to September, the females migrate back to the roses to store their eggs in the bark, which then overwinter.

The common earwig feeds on parts of plants, fruits, seeds and aphids. It overwinters as an adult, hiding among leaf litter, and in cracks and crevices in and around buildings and plants. Common earwigs are nocturnal. Although they are capable of flying, they do so only rarely.

Adult Anthaxia podolica settle on flowering plants. where they specialized are limited to certain plant species. They are oligophagous. Sometimes they only settle on yellow flowers. They feed on flower petals, or on the herbaceous components of their host plants.

...er. They pupate in spring of the following year and emerge as adult butterflies in May. The adult brown argus butterflies are active from May to June. During this time they mate and reproduce. The fertilized females always lay their eggs on the host plants of their larvae, on the underside of the leaves. The development from egg to caterpillar takes about 10 - 12 days. After hatching the caterpillars immediately begin feeding on the host plants and after about 60 days they have completed their development. They are greenish and have a pale line lengthwise on each side. When they have reached a length of about 20 mm they pupate. They hatch from the pupae from late July to mid September and ...

It feeds on nectar from thistles and cornflowers. In May or June the females lay about 100 to 300 eggs in groups on the host plants, on the undersides of the leaves. The caterpillars hatch after about 2 weeks and are yellowish-green and spotted black. They eat in groups. The older larvae are solitary. The caterpillars can be encountered from June to October and reach lengths of ...

...e solitary. The caterpillars can be encountered from June to October and reach lengths of up to 40 mm. They develop a clear warning sign, and are equipped with a chemical defense system which is based on sulphur compounds and derived from the forage plants (various types of cabbage, milkwort, nasturtium). After 3 to 4 weeks, the caterpillars pupate, often after long hikes in search of suitable sites.
