| The red admiral is found in almost every environment. It feeds on the nectar of Eupatorium or ivy blossoms and on the juices of fallen fruits. Red admiral caterpillars are black and yellow. They feed exclusively on large nettles and are solitary, living on leaves joined together with their silk. The red admiral is a migrant species and flies to Northern Europe in May. It returns to Southern Europe in October for the winter. The red admiral produces 2 new generations per year. | | |
| | Adult scarlet dragonflies reach body lengths of 40 - 45 mm. Their colouration varies. In Central Europe brownish-red males are often encountered, while for example in the Mediterranean region, all the males are bright red. The eyes and legs are red and there is a red, or orange-yellow, basal spot on each hindwing. The abdomen of the males is very long and there are pincers at the end that are used to hold the females during mating. | | |
| | | The large red damselfly has wing spans of 40 - 70 mm. Their pterostigma and the markings on their legs are solid black. Due to their external appearance, the large red damselfly can be confused with the small red damselfly (Ceriagrion tenellum). The latter, however, has red legs. Confusion with Pyrrhosoma elisabethae is also possible. Here differentiation is possible on the basis of the abdominal appandixes. | | |
| | The red-tailed bumblebee | | The red-tailed bumblebee (Bombus lapidarius) is one of the best-known bumblebee species in Central Europe. It is one of the colony building insects. Its body is mostly black, with the end of the abdomen being brownish red in colour. The male Bombus lapidarius has a yellow towel on its chest. | | |
| | The entire upper surface of the body is red with longitudinal black stripes. The sides of the abdomen are red with black spots. The pronotum (already said upper surface is red) has six black stripes. | | |
| | Large red damselfly | The large red damselfly (Pyrrhosoma nymphula) is a species in the order true dragonflies (Odonata), the suborder damselflies (Zygoptera), the superfamily Coenagrionoidea, the family narrow-winged damselflies or pond damselflies (Coenagrionidae) and the genus Pyrr...
...soma nymphula) is a species in the order true dragonflies (Odonata), the suborder damselflies (Zygoptera), the superfamily Coenagrionoidea, the family narrow-winged damselflies or pond damselflies (Coenagrionidae) and the genus Pyrrhosoma. The large red damselfly is common in most of Europe however it is absent in most of Scandinavia and in some parts of southern Europe. In Germany, it is one of the most common dragonfly species. | | |
| | Adult Pyrrhosoma nymphula reach body lengths of 35 - 45 mm. Their bodies are bright red in colour. They have compound eyes. In the males, the upper part of the eyes is red in colour, while the lower part is whitish to yellow. In the females the eye colouration is paler. The thorax has black markings on its upper surface and on the sides. Young specimens of both sexes have yellow to bright red stripes on the surface of the middle segment of the thorax (mesothorax). In some females these stripes are paler - reddish-orange to yellow - and they can darken with age. The underside of the thorax is yellowish to whitish in both sexes. | | |
| Both males and females have red and black markings on the abdomen. In the females these markings can be divided into three basic patterns according to their shape and location.
In type 1, which is themost common, the 2nd - 6th segments are red. A black line runs along the centre of these segments, which widens into a patch at the end of each of them. This black line is followed by a thin, yellow ring. All remaining segments are entirely black.
Type 2 has a similar pattern. However, th...

Type 2 has a similar pattern. However, the black markings on the 2nd - 6th segments are less pronounced.
Type 3, however, only has a slight red colouration on the sides of the 2nd – 6th segments. The rest of the abdomen has a black, metallic sheen.
Males only ever have distinct black markings at the top of the 7th - 9th segments. | | |
| | The head is orange-red at the front. The antennae are long and threadlike and the first 3 segments are brownish red. The other segments are black. The mouthparts (mandibles) are red in colour, as also as parts of the neck. The front part of the chest is orange on the upper surface (neck plate). There is a black spot in the middle of the chest that can run right up to the front or rear edge. | | |
| The eyes of the larvae are red. Their antennae and legs are transparent, while the rest of the body is yellowish. From the beginning of the 2nd larval stage on (5 days) the nymphs start eating. The head, thorax, antennae and legs are now black. There is a yellow patch on each out...
...of the body is yellowish. From the beginning of the 2nd larval stage on (5 days) the nymphs start eating. The head, thorax, antennae and legs are now black. There is a yellow patch on each outer side of the upper surface of the chest. The abdomen is red, as are the 2nd, 3rd and 4th segments of the antennae. In the 3rd and 4th larval stages (7 days), the body shape changes and shades of green start to predominate in the colouration. In the 5th stage (8 days) the wings begin to grow. The abdomen is yellowish green now and has red spots on its axis in the middle. During the 8th day the final moult occurs and the adult bug emerges. After another 4 weeks, the southern green stink bug is sexually mature. The last generation a year, overwinter as adult bugs. | | |
