| The Liocoris tripustulatus lives in sunny, open habitats such as gardens. It is also found in open forests where plenty of light enters. Whether they eat plants other than the nettle is not known. | | |
|
| This bug overwinters in the adult stage. It hides in fallen leaves, bark or in the hollow parts of plants. From May on the larvae hatch, which are green in colour and in July the adult stage is reached. The females lay their eggs on nettles on the upper side of the leaf stalks. Every year, a new generation emerges. | | |

The dietary habits of rove beetle larvae are generally the same as the adults. While most rove beetles are predatory some species eat fungi, or putrescent animals and plants. The larvae of some species live as parasites? on the pupaeof flies. There are species of rove beetle, which only inhabit birds' nests, mammals' nests, ants' nests, termites' nests or those of wasps. In ants' nests, rove beetles hunt for their hos... | | |

| Eristalis arbustorum are found throughout the world (Europe, Africa, Asia and North America), especially in open terrain. Their preferred food source is nectar and the pollen of plants from the sunflower family (Asteraceae) and the carrot family (umbellifers).
Eristalis arbustorum appears from March to October. | | |

| Bibio marci | | ... frequently around 25 April.
Bibio marci are black and shiny. Their bodies can reach a length of 8 to 11 mm. They are similar to flies but are the biggest kind of Bibionidae in Europe. Sometimes they appear in large swarms on shrubs and small plants. Bibio marci love to be in the proximity of water and in open landscapes. | | |

The main food source of the Bibio marci are different plant juices, nectar and sometimes pollen. Bibio marci like living in bushes, shrubs or on small plants. | | |
|
| Adult longhorn beetles feed on pollen, flower parts or tree juices. Some species prefer tree bark or leaves and the stems of cabbage plants. Other species don’t eat anything or are predatory. The life span of an adult longhorn beetle is anything up to 90 days, in many species less than 1 month. | | |
