| ...s have white tips. The green long-legged fly has very long, hairy, spiky-looking, brownish-coloured legs and it can run and jump perfectly. It flies only to change location over longer distances. Its long legs allow it to pull prey out of the soil or to fish them from water. | | |
|
| Flat-footed flies prefer moist and shady deciduous or mixed forests, and also like their periphery, especially areas with moist and sandy soil. Some species have an affinity for wood smoke or wood ash. | | |

|
| ... larvae reach body lengths of 4-5 mm. Their yellowish to brown bodies resemble woodlice in shape and have appendages in different sizes depending on the species. The larvae of flat-footed flies pupate at the end of the last larval stage, in or on soil. The second brood they have in the year overwinters in the larval stage.

| ...post heaps. From the first or second day after hatching, the larvae begin feeding on feces or rotting parts of plants. At the end of their third larval stage the fully developed larvae turn into pupae. This happens in the dung or compost or in the soil below it. From egg to adult fly can take 14 to 32 days.
Parasitoid mites like Bonomoia sphaerocerae and Macrocheles insignitus are the natural enemies of Sepsis Fulgens. These mites also use the flies as a means of transport. Sepsis fulgens can... | | |

| ...rown and without hair. Their legs (3 pairs) are glossy dark brown to black. A few weeks after hatching, the larvae pupate on their food plants. One to two weeks later, the new generation of beetles hatch. Brassy willow beetles overwinter in the soil as adults.

They pupate in oval spaces in the earth just beneath the surface of the soil, where they remain for 8 to 11 days. In August the beetles of the new generation leave their pupae. | | |
|
| Graphomyia maculata can reproduce several times a year. The larvae live in moist soil and are predatory. They overwinter after pupating. | | |
|
| After mating, the fertilized females lay their eggs on the food plants of their larvae. The larvae develop in decaying plants, rotting fungi, and are also sometimes found in bird nests. After pupation, they overwinter in the soil. | | |
|
| Common cluster flies mate from May on. The females lay eggs in crevices in the soil. The development from larvae to adult takes about two months. After hatching, the larvae infect earthworms from the family Lumbricidae (especially those of the genus Allolobophora) by penetrating their skin. They feed on the worms’ interior tissue... | | |
