Some species hide their eggs in holes in leaves, stems or twigs. Others cover their eggs with feces. The Donaciinae live both on water as well as on water plants. Here is the egg laying in a kind of jelly. The eggs are laid in rows on leaves. The larvae bore their heads in roots, stems or leaves and suck out the plant juices. | | |
| | Dor Beetles - Earth-boring dung beetles | | ...e deep impressions on their large and curved necks.
The earth-boring dung beetle lives in forests, steppes and fields.
The adult beetles are active during the day and night. They are clumsy in flight. Adults and larvae feed on faeces, rotten plants and fungi. Some eat leaves, others do not apply to food.
Dung beetles dig complex underground systems of passages (often beside dung). The young are fed and taken care of in individual chambers. | | |

The armadillium has a high resistance to water shortages. Therefore, it is also found in forest edges and ruderal on plants growing on waste ground or among refuse.
The females breed up to 3 times a year. Depending on the size of the female, from 20 to 160 young isopods hatch.

The adult wasps are mainly found on umbelliferae flowers, mint, thistle or golden rod plants. Their larvae mostly live as parasites in the nests of some kinds of bees or wasps, for example, 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-ce... | | |
| | Lepidopterans begin life as caterpillars. They hatch from eggs and feed on plants before they pupate. After their metamorphosis, they hatch from their pupae as an adult butterfly (imago) to live on and store new eggs. Lepidopterans and caterpillars are able to camouflage themselves using colour and texture and even practice mimi... | | |
| | The female drone flies lay their eggs in sewage treatment plants and other muddy or foul waters. The larvae have a breathing tube, which is up to 100 mm in length. Therefore they are known as rat-tailed maggots. The larvae of drone flies develop to a body length of up to 20 mm. Due to the fact that they filte... | | |
| | Excretions of other insects (honeydew of lice), nectar, seeds, fruit or pollen, in addition to many parts of plants also form part of their diet. Driver ants prey on other insects and animals. Some species are scavengers and feed on the excreta of other insects. Others collect seeds, grow mushrooms or dig tunnels into the nests of other insects to steal their bre... | | |

The females are drawn to humans and mammals by the smell of their sweat. They feed on their blood, sucking up to 0.2 ml from them. The males feed on nectar. In some species the females live off plants and carrion.
The bite of a horse fly can penetrate clothing and is much more painful than the sting of a mosquito due to the larger mouth parts. Horse flies are considered a risk to humans and animals, especially in Africa, as they carry dise... | | |
| | They suck the juices from various plants, including Umbelliferae, hogweed and cow parsley.
Mating usually occurs in spring, but sometimes in summer. The females lay their eggs (by gluing them) in small groups on leaves and stems. After 8 - 10 days the larvae hatch and are guarded for a... | | |
| | Female Drosophilidae lay up to 400 eggs in decomposing plant material or in other substrates, which the hatching larvae then feed on. The development of the larvae takes place in 3 stages over about two weeks. The larvae feed on dead parts of plants or rotting fruits. They mainly eat the microorganisms which are involved in the decomposition of plant materials. The larvae of other species are omnivorous and eat their way through plant stems or leaves. Others live off fungal cultures or prey o... | | |
