| Small white | | The small white (Pieris rapae) is a butterfly of the family Pieridae. It is common in Europe, Asia, North America and Australia.
The small white reaches wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. Its wings are white with black spots. The front wings have grey to black tips. The undersides of the hind wings are grey to yellow. The caterpillar is a dull green colour with light stripes on the sides. | | |
| The small tortoiseshell can reach wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. The base colour of the wings’ upper surface is orange. The front edge of the forewing bears a pattern of black, yellow and white patches with 1 large and 2 small black spots in the middle. The underside of the wings is black and has markings in different greys and grey-brown colours. The hind wings only bear a black patch. Both pairs of wings, have a pattern of black at the edge.

Both pairs of wings, have a pattern of black at the edge. At higher altitudes in, more southerly locations small tortoiseshells are bigger and brighter. | | |
| The small tortoiseshell produces 2 to 3 new generations a year. They can be encountered from March to October. They overwinter in protected places. Egg-laying occurs after overwintering, on the undersides of the leaves of the larval food plants, grand nettle,...
... example. A clutch comprises approximately 50 to 200 eggs. The young caterpillars, which hatch after a few days, are gregarious and live in self spinned tissue. At the end of the larval period, lasting 1 to 2 months, they are living solitarily or in small groups. The caterpillars then pupate. The pupae are brown or light green with shimmering patches and are covered in spines. 12 days after pupating the small tortoiseshell butterfly hatches. Parasitic Diptera pose a threat to the caterpillars. Birds eat the pupae, but not the caterpillars. | | |

The head is spherical and black and the antennae are very small and thin. The third segment of the antenna is very short and with apically thin hair. The proboscis is strikingly large, yellow in colour and appears slightly darker at the end. In the resting position it lies on the belly amongst the legs. The pr...
...om reddish-yellow to yellow in colour.
The Taurus fly feeds on the nectar of the various plant species whose blossoms she visits. The female lays her eggs on branches of trees or on blades of grass. The number of eggs (located singly or in or in small clusters) can amount to more than 1000.
The larvae are very small when they hatch. At the end of their abdomen is an apparature through which they can move like loopers (inchworms). The larvae feed parasitically on spiders or on their young. They jump on approaching spiders and penetrate (through the skin at one... | | |

| After mating, the fertilized females lay their yellowish to reddish-brown eggs, individually or in small groups, on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae are yellowish after hatching and resemble caterpillars. They have 8 small pairs of legs attached to the abdomen. Their antennae have 4 - 5 segments. The larvae of Tenthredo campestris feed on the leaves of various herbaceous plants, trees and shrubs. Their food of preference is ground-elder (Aegopodium podagraria). When ...
... - 5 segments. The larvae of Tenthredo campestris feed on the leaves of various herbaceous plants, trees and shrubs. Their food of preference is ground-elder (Aegopodium podagraria). When disturbed, the larvae curl into a "S" and resemble small snakes. En masse these larvae can cause major damage to shrubs and trees. | | |
| | Bees are vegetarians, mainly living on sweet plant juice. Pollen serves as their supply of protein. Some bees live in colonies. Most of the bees are solitary. Sometimes solitary bees live in small commons. The small commons primarily enable the solitary bees to rear their offspring together and temporarily to protect themselves. Even sleeping, hibernation and guards groups are formed. Bees which live in colonies however, are non–transient , socially sophistica... | | |
| Bibio marci have relatively short antennae (9 sections ). Females and males can be easily differentiated by their eyes. . The males have hemispherical shaped eyes, while the female's eyes are small and on the side of the head. The females are smaller than the males. The males typically let their legs hang down in flight and are rough and hairy. The females are predominantly smooth. The wings of the females appear black, the wings of the males, white.

The main food source of the Bibio marci are different plant juices, nectar and sometimes pollen. Bibio marci like living in bushes, shrubs or on small plants. | | |

...lars - Cruciferae, cabbage, Reseda, cress, mustard and radish - which hatch after a maximum of 8 days. The caterpillars are solitary. After moulting four times they pupate. If the pupae do not hibernate, the new butterflies emerge after 10 days. The small white produces 2 - 3 new generations a year. | | |
| | Plume moths | | The plume moths (Pterophoridae) are a family of small lepidopterans, belonging to the moths. Plume moths are very similar in appearance to many-plumed moths (Alucitidae) and are often confused with them. They resemble a feather or a small branch. | | |
