The females dig tunnels in loose soil for their nests. These tunnels are approximately 100 mm long and sometimes branched. It can happen that several females build their nests very close to each other. The nests are equipped with small chambersshaped like hazelnuts, which are smooth inside and treated with an antibiotic acting secretion. The front brood chamber is often filled with the food supply and is meant to divert parasites’ attention from the brood in the rear chambers.

... filled with the food supply and is meant to divert parasites’ attention from the brood in the rear chambers.
Before oviposition occurs, the females fill the brood chambers with a puree of pollen and nectar, on which they lay their eggs ,in a small puddle of nectar. The hatched larvae feed on the puree until early autumn, thereafter they pupate within the brood chamber. They overwinter as pupae and hatch as adult bees in March. Among the parasites who feed on the brood of Anthophora and Ame... | | |

Due to its appearance, the autumn spider can easily can confused with the small autumn spider (Metellina mengei), which is similar in colour. . The species can be told apart by the shape of their genitals, their body size and the hair on the legs of the males.

The autumn spider is diurnal and feeds on insects. It builds a relatively small orb-web which is often close to the ground, The web is not more than about 1.5 metres from the ground. The autumn spider is usually found upside down in the centre of its web or near the edge , waiting for prey. In case of danger or disturban... | | |

...dies.
The adult flies have a life span of about 1 week and only feed on vegetables (phytophagous). Aside from the open air, they are mainly encountered in greenhouses. After hatching from pupae, the females start feeding immediately. They drill small holes in the top surface of plants’ leaves using their ovipositors and suck up liquid with their mouth parts. The damaged areas on the leaf tissue (which also enable bacteria and fungi to penetrate into the plant) are clearly visible as yellowis... | | |
| | Green long-legged flies prefer to be in the vicinity of small rivers, streams and ponds. They feed on honeydew, which they find on the leaves of plants, but they mainly survive by preying on worms, small insects and their larvae. | | |

While most species live in the tropics and subtropics, there are a total of 10 genera in Europe from all three sub-families. Some examples of genera of small-headed flies are: Acrocera, Astomella, Corononcodes, Cyrtus, Eulonchus, Lasia, Ocnaea, Ogcodes, Oligoneura, Opsebius, Philopota, Pterodontia and Turbopsebius. In Germany there are 8 known species while in North America there are approximately ten t... | | |

Orange tips live on both, dry meadow rangesand damp meadows or pastures at heights of up to 1500 metres. They can be seen in bright, damp forest, at the edges of damp forest, at small lakes, in brook valleys, at river banks or dykes, in moorlands, in back gardens, at railway cuttings or in dirt roads. | | |

Dendroxena quadrimaculata live off caterpillars, while members of the genus Nicrophorus bury the corpses of small animals (mice, moles etc.) and dig an incubator for oviposition alongside them. The females form small balls out of the dead tissue with which they feed the larvae after hatching. Beetles of the genera Thanatophilus, Necrodes and Silpha also live on carrion, but without burying it. | | |
