The males are very large, and have compound eyes of various dimensions on the upper side of the head which is hairy (the face too), while the females are smaller and hairless. The females have a spike to dig with on their forelegs. The colour of the male and female Bibionidae is different, the male being black and the female being reddish brown to amber. In spring and autumn Bibionidae often swarm en mas...
... the swarm, and the males of the Bibio marci for example can become very aggressive. While the Nematocera are generally good flyers, i. e. the Bibio hortulanus are sluggish and slow.
The female Bibionidae lay up to 3,000 eggs, individually or in small groups in the soil, where they are buried. The hatched larvae, which are resist to the cold, are usually hairy and are found en masse (especially in the upper layers of humus). They live on rotting plant remains and are important soil regenerator... | | |

Bibio marci are black and shiny. Their bodies can reach a length of 8 to 11 mm. They are similar to flies but are the biggest kind of Bibionidae in Europe. Sometimes they appear in large swarms on shrubs and small plants. Bibio marci love to be in the proximity of water and in open landscapes. | | |
| | | Green lacewings | | ...t resident species in Europe have a greenish tint. A distinguishing feature is the markings on the head. The two pairs of wings are the same shape and are usually transparent and iridescent with green wing veins.
Larvae are elongated and have small bumps on the chest and abdomen segments, or are plump and have long bristles on the sides of the body.
Adult green lacewings fly at night and at dawn. They feed on pollen, nectar or honeydew. There are also species that are predatory. The latte... | | |
| | Bombus sylvarum feed on nectar and pollen from a variety of plants. The flight period of queens begins in April, (that of the young Bombus sylvarum in July) and ends in late October. A colony comprises 80 to 100 insects. The nests are built in small animal burrows (mice holes). | | |

The upper and lower sides of the wings are brown in colour. On the surface of the wings are small spots with a yellowish outline, shaped like eyes, which are usually more clearly seen on the underside of the wings. | | |
| | The larvae are looking stretched long, often soft and velvety dark colored. They feed on small insects and snails and live on the ground. | | |

Lagriinae eat young leaves of flowering plants. They are encountered on grasses, herbs and shrubs. The adults fly throughout the summer. The larvae of Lagriinae are white and brownish in colour. They are very small and survive the winter on fallen leaves, which are also their food source. The larvae turn to pupae in the soil. | | |
| | While queens reach a length of up to 20 mm, drones reach 13 to 17 mm, and the workers, 12 to 16 mm. The wasps are black and yellow in colour. The wasp has either a small straight line on it’s head which is sometimes discontinuous or 1 to 3 black spots. | | |
| | ... clearly audible hum. The females suck blood, mostly from horses and cattle.
The females lay their white, oblong eggs on plants in disorderly piles. Their larvae are whitish-green. They live in the soil and feed on rotting parts of plants and small organisms, which they kill by injecting them with poison, using their mouth parts.
Tabanus sudeticus are considered to be disease carriers, particularly of the EIA virus.

| | The head of the specimens is small. The pronotum is wide and followed by a large scutellum which reaches to the end of the abdomen. The antennae and legs are black. The underside of Graphosoma lineatum is red with black spots. | | |
