Moth flies
...matocera, order Diptera. There are approximately 1,500 species worldwide, 110 of which are found in Germany. The Moth fly is 1 to 5 mm in length. The body and the wings are often very hairy. When stationary, the wings folded on the back resemble a roof. Moth flies are thus named due to their relatively large wings which are reminiscent of the wings of butterflies,. While the hairs of the males are in contrasting colors , the females are less remarkable in appearance.

Auchenorrhyncha reach body lengths of 1.8 - 70 mm. In resting position, their wings form a roof shape. The proboscis is found on the underside of the head. The antennae consist of 2 basal segments and have a flagellum. Cicadas have a very distinct colouration and use camouflage to adapt to the local environment. Some species are highly patter...

...ng the bug difficult to distinguish from its environment. The colouration of the abdomen’s upper surface changes seasonally and has green, brown and reddish tones. The head, pronotum and scutellum are covered in black dots. The keel of the abdomen’s roof shaped underside has a sting-like appendage. Beside the legs are defensive glands, which produce secretions with an unpleasant odour, when there is a threat from their natural enemies (i. e. birds). In the larvae these glands are located on the abdo...

Most Sternorrhyncha possess 2 pairs of wings (missing in some species), which are posited, when at rest, on the abdomen, forming a roof shape. The classification of different areas of the wings is a common feature of Sternorrhyncha, with the anal fields settles much of the rest of the wings. The front wings are thin.

...fore they do not suck blood. Their antennae are hairy and can thus register more vibrations. The wings are usually very well developed and can be shaped differently according to the gender of the insect. In resting position the wings are posited roof-like on the body. Chironomids have a life expectancy of a few days.

...ble for stinging or sucking blood. Their antennae have discrete groups of hairs on their surface which are capable of improving their ability to detect vibrations. The chest (thorax) is very arched. The wings are well developed and are posited roof-like on the abdomen in resting position. When at rest, these midges stretch their front legs out forwards free of their bodies and move them convulsively. Chironomus atroviridis have a life expectancy of only a few days. They feed on honeydew ...

...ting - those that survive can be encountered until July. The females spin a flat cocoon covered with light coloured spider silk in the creases in leaves, rolled up leaves or under rocks for their eggs. Having finshed the cocoon, they spin themself a roof shaped shelter in which to reside, while guarding their brood. The spiders hatch and reach their final stages of development in autumn. The young spiders overwinter under loose bark. On warmer winter days they leave their shelter for a few hours to ...
