| As in all Apocrita, the thorax is merged with the first abdominal segment, forming a unit called the mesosoma. The 4 segments of the mesosoma are blended together seamlessly and surrounded by a hard shell (exoskeleton) that provides effective protection against stings from bees or bumble bees when in their nests they are parasitizing to their larvae. | | |
| | The larvae have a flat, uniform body, which gets thinner at the ends. The skin is leathery and due to calcium deposits, is like a shell. It also protects the larvae from drying out. The larvae live in compost, humus or manure where they feed on decaying plant debris (leaf debris, rotten tree bark etc). After reaching the final larval stage they overwinter. Insectivores, birds and sp... | | |

Their heads are black (females: dark greyish-brown) and they have very large complex eyes, which at the males (until the mouth area) in the centre of their heads almost completely are pushed together and shell-like cover their heads sides. The eyes are bright red in colour. There are long black bristles on the back of the head and on the lower section of the face. | | |
| | ...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.e. feeding from a variety of sources), are pure herbivores that can cause tremendous damage in turnip fields when appearing en masse. Members of the species Silpha atrata lay their... | | |

At the end of their development, the larvae leave the water by crawling up parts of plants. After hatching from their outer shell (exuviae), the adult dragonflies dry and begin to fly. In Central Europe, the scarlet dragonfly produces 1 new generation a year, in the Mediterranean, 2 are possible. | | |
