Other species eat live plant parts or feed on other insects or small prey animals. Some species of insects like bees collect nectar or pollen, and thus make an important contribution to the pollination of plants. Insects can also occur as parasites, which suck blood or develop into adults in living tissue. | | |
| | The antennae of the males and females differ in shape. Their mouth parts are designed for preying on small insects. The thorax of the green long-legged fly is shiny, gold-green and hairy. | | |

The leaflets can be completely bitten through (blue lupine). Small and bird's-foot broom are also eaten by Sitona gressorius. In June, the young beetles of the new generation hatch. They often enter residential areas, occurring in houses to such an extent that they constitute a plague. | | |

Birds pose the biggest threat to spiders. However amphibians, reptiles and bats also eat spiders. Some spider species feed exclusively on other spiders. Other natural enemies are: wasps, ants, true dragonflies, small-headed flies, Nematodes and Acarina. | | |
| | Crane flies are active in different seasons and often form small swarms in the evenings. They live off water or nectar. | | |
| | In addition to anteaters (which only exist outside Europe) , ants have several natural enemies - certain bird species, small snakes, amphibians and spiders Other insects or spiders sometimes live as guests in the ant nest. Ants are often attacked by blood-sucking parasites such as mites. Some people regard ants as harmful especially those who collect cereal seeds or kee... | | |

The females lay their eggs on rotting plants, under bark or in reeds. Some species lay their eggs in water. The larvae feed on plant substrates first, and later on small insects, often unselectively. The pupae have breathing tubes and are hidden in cocoons. | | |

The sheep bot fly has a broad head with large, reddish to brown compound eyes. The mouth tools are degenerate and allow only a small quantity of food to be ingested. The large, strong wings are brownish in colour. The legs are dark, hairy, and strong. The sheep bot fly is active in summer.
The females lay their eggs in the nostrils or eyes of sheep. The larvae hatch f... | | |

Males and females grab their prey - hover flies, bees, wasps, butterflies or small beetles, often considerably larger than the spider itself - with a snap of their front legs and kill them quickly with a bite in the back of the neck. | | |
