It is found almost exclusively in sunny places with old, sick or dying oak trees, in which its larvae develop. However, it completely avoids dead wood. Occasionally, it is also found on hornbeam (Carpinus), chestnut (Castan... | | |

In autumn, when the damaged acorns fall from the tree, the larvae, which have now reached their full size, bore their way out and dig into the ground, where they settle themselves in small chambers about 250 mm beneath the surface of the ground for the purpose of overwintering. In the following spring, the larvae pupate in their chambers. They leave the pupae in May or June as adult acorn weevils. | | |
| | The eleven-spot ladybird is 4 - 5 mm in length. Its body isblack in colour. The pronotum bears a small, white spot on each of the outer sides. The wing covers (elytra ) are bright red, orange-red or orange. There are in total 7-11 black dots on the wings which are sometimes joined, or surrounded by a thin yellow ring. The legs of these beetles are bl... | | |
| | The eleven-spot ladybird lives in habitats with sandy soils and, for the most part, sparse vegetation, where it hunts and devours aphids on different plant species. Their larvae also prey on small insects such as aphids. The adult beetles overwinter in leaf litter or in other plant waste. | | |
| | ...ats with sandy soils. They are encountered from May to September in deciduous forests, in forest clearings, forest edges, forest meadows and wet meadows, as well as in parks or large gardens. The adult beetles are diurnal and can be found sitting on small trees and a variety of other plants (Umbelliferae, Asteraceae) where they feed on pollen, nectar and young leaves. When they occur en masse, they can cause considerable damage to vegetation. Amonsgt their natural enemies are: insect-eaters, birds an... | | |
| | Adult Rhogogaster viridis reach body lengths of 10 - 13 mm and therefore count as small wasps. Their bodies are grass green and have black and yellow markings. There is a black marking on the top of the head. The upper surface of the thorax also has very dark markings. The abdomen is a striking green colour, with a dark, central, longi... | | |

Nest colonies form/can form, comprising several hundred - up to one thousand - individual nests in a relatively small area. The nests consist of a 160 - 230 mm long main passageway, which can be connected to individual brood chambers. The brood chambers are filled with food for the larvae by the females, a single egg is deposited on the food and the brood chambers ... | | |

They are diurnal and usually sit on plants (grasses, herbaceous plants and shrubs) or flowers, in order to feed on small insects (living or dead aphids). Occasionally Cantharis fusca eat the young sprouts of the oak tree), or buds, leaves and nectar and pollen from various other plants. | | |
| | ... early June. The fertilized females lay their eggs in moist soil. The larvae hatch after several days. Their bodies have velvety black hair. They have strong mouthparts. The larvae of Cantharis fusca live on the ground or near the ground and capture small insects, worms and snails to eat, killing them by injecting them with poison. The cold-resistant larvae overwinter under rocks or in soil litter. On sunny winter days they can be observed crawling on the snow surface. The larvae are thus also called... | | |
| | Conops flavipes have a wingspan of about 20 mm. The wings are transparent, brown at their base, long and narrow. The halteres (small knobbed appendages found as a pair in some two winged insects) are a light yellow colour. The legs are yellowish brown to brown with dark rings. The feet (tarsi) are whitish. | | |
