Sucking

The heineken fly lives at a variety of altitudes, preferably in forest edges, woodland trails, meadows, marshes, farmland and fields. The adults suck nectar from, for example, Lamiaceae, oregano, geranium, thistle, buttercup, winches, black nettles and nettles.

...ables (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 yellowish stains. The males live on nectar or honeydew but they can live without nu...

Painted ladies prefer warm and dry habitats. They are often found in large numbers in areas with a lot of thistles. They feed on nectar, which they suck from the flowers of the thistle (Cirsium) or other flowering plants like butterfly bush (Buddleja davidii). After mating, the fertilized females seek out the food plants of the larvae where they lay their eggs on the upperside of the leaves. The egg...

The mouthparts have degenerated in many species and are not suitable for penetrating the skin, therefore they do not suck blood. Their antennae are hairy and can thus register more vibrations. The wings are usually very well developed and can be shaped differently according to the gender of the insect. In resting position the wings are posited roof-like on the body....

Anthomyia pluvialis are active from May to October. The males are often encountered in groups in the shade of trees. The adult flies feed on nectar and pollen from flowering plants, the females suck the blood of other insects or conspecifics.

...s of less than 2,000 metres. They prefer moderately dry to moist, shady or semi-shady habitats with nutrient-rich soils. Adults can be encountered from the beginning of June to October, mostly on herbaceous plants (especially nettles), where they suck juices from buds and flowers, or eat aphids or honeydew.

In summer you can see the common cluster fly in flowers, on overripe fruit, carrion or dung heaps, in September, on blooming goldenrod (Solidago) and in October, in large numbers on sunlit tree trunks or on walls. The common cluster fly likes to suck up sap ‘bleeding’ from trees.

...of the Bombycidae and the caterpillars of the silkmoth (silkworms) are of importance. These caterpillars are considered pests especially in gardens and monoculture farming, because an infestation leads to significant crop losses. Lepidopterans which suck blood or tears are considered to be disease vectors.
>> Moths & Butterflies
Booklice reach body lengths of 0.5 - 10 mm. Most species have brightly coloured bodies. Their antennae are long and thin. Their mouthparts consist of an intermediate form of tools to chew and suck. Some species also have spinning glands. The males’ forewings at their rear edge are reversed like a hook and thus hand along the thicker front edge of the rear wing, while the females have stunted forewings or no forewings at all.
>> Booklice - Barkflies
Epiphragma ocellaris prefer moist habitats such as deciduous forests, swamps or wet meadows. They are active in May and June and from September to April and suck blood. Their larvae, which probably develop in the soil, have hairy pseudopods (feet). They feed on parts of decaying plants.
