Seite 3 von 4 1 2 3 4 | | | | The females possess special glands to produce fibres which they use to build cocoons under water. Air is kept in these cocoons for the larvae to breathe. Water scavenger beetles feed on plants and rotting substances. Their larvae mostly live predatorily at the bottom of water bodies. Water scavenger beetles are very useful because they purify the water. | | |
| | Cynomya mortuorum feed on pollen and fluids, which they find in carrion or excrement. The fertilized females lay several hundred eggs (which are generally larger than those of other blowflies) on rotting meat. The whitish, cylindrical eggs are 1. 6-1. 75 mm in length and 0. 5-0. 7 mm in breadth and taper at the front, while the posterior end is blunt. The larvae hatch after 1-2 days and in the first stage of development reach body lengths of 1. 8-2.... | | |
| | | Root-maggot flies prefer to live on flowering plants, where they feed on the nectar and pollen. However, they also sometimes feed on liquid manure, sweat, blood or the watery discharge from wounds. Some species live on rotting seaweed, others reside in the nests of bees or wasps, where they eat the food reserves of their hosts or the unwanted remains of these. | | |
| | ...ps. This includes in particular, species of the genus Delia (Delia antiqua, Delia coarctata, Delia Floralis, Delia platura, Delia radicum) and the turnip fly (Pegomyia hyoscyami). The larvae of other species of root-maggot flies feed on fungus or rotting plant parts. Root-maggot flies overwinter in the soil as pupae. | | |
| | After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae develop in decaying plants, rotting fungi, and are also sometimes found in bird nests. After pupation, they overwinter in the soil. | | |
| | Sexual maturity is reached when the fly is fully developed and these insects mate several times between May and August. The fertilized females lay their eggs on rotting plants, aquatic plants or on the surface of water. | | |
| | While most species of Silphidae can be found on animal carcasses, others choose fungus, rotting plants, healthy plants and faeces, some only for oviposition. The Silphidae and their larvae live and feed on carrion - necrophagous, on parts of plants - phytophagous, on faeces - coprophagous, or by preying on adult insects, insects’ larvae or on... | | |
| | Species of the genus Oiceoptoma such as Oeceoptoma thoracicum feed on faeces, rotting plants or fungi as well as carrion. Representatives of the genus Ablattaria (e.g. Ablattaria laevigata) specialize in the consumption of snails. They can penetrate the snail shell. Specimens from the genus Aclypea (although considered polyphagous i... | | |
| | There are 6 different kinds of spear-winged fly larvae and they are shaped like wood lice. They have flat backs and 2 pairs of bristles on their heads. They live on the ground, amongst dead leaves, or in dung or rotting vegetation. They can even be found among the leaves of Brussels sprouts (Brassica oleracea) or white beets, especially in wet weather. The larvae feed on fungal threads (hyphae), algal cells, pollen, soil particles and substrates, which they find in... | | |
| | ...odies are stocky and often bright yellow to yellowy-orange in colour. Their sparse hair and long dark bristles are very striking. The head bears large compound eyes which are often red. Many species have patterned wings. Lauxaniid fly larvae live in rotting leaves and are also often found in birds' nests. | | |
