The scutellum is triangular in shape and slightly brighter. The wing covers (elytres) are approximately the same length as the pronotum. Their surface is densely dimpled and has a strong metallic, olive to bronze-coloured sheen. The hind wings are well developed and large. When the beetle rests, these wings must be folded in an intricate manner to fit under the wing covers. Spreading the wings...
...ngs is faster. This is done with the assistance of the legs and a comb-like apparatus - located at the end of the abdomen - which is pulled along the underside of the hind wings to make them smooth. The abdomen is black and clearly segmented. Its surface can shimmer bluish to purple and can also have a metallic shine. | | |
| ...een shimmer. The head is light coloured with a central marking in yellow, gray, brown and reddish-brown tones. Their two large compound eyes are brown in colour. Their mouth parts are atrophied because they mostly do not eat and live of fluid. The surface of the thorax is yellowish, reddish and whitish in colour and has a wide, somewhat darkened median stripe, in which a bright line runs lengthwise. The scutellum (small triangular plate on the thorax) is bright turquoise. Each segment of the abd...
...which a bright line runs lengthwise. The scutellum (small triangular plate on the thorax) is bright turquoise. Each segment of the abdomen has a light brown andreddish brown pattern on it and a long shiny green stripe lengthwise on the upper surface. In male specimens the posterior part is often red or reddish brown in colour. The Pond olive dun is able to swim by moving its abdomen up and down (making a wriggling motion). 7 pairs of gills are located laterally, the first six pairs of which ... | | |

The black-lined skimmer establishes a territory and the males occasionally patrol this near the surface of the water. Competing species of dragonflies are systematically expelled from the area. The black-lined skimmer is very shy and always maintains a greater flight distance. Females usually remain hidden in the riparian vegetation and only rarely ap...
...Females usually remain hidden in the riparian vegetation and only rarely appear. They hunt in the evening and can only be observed flying in daylight during the mating season. Mating starts in the air and is completed after 5 - 10 minutes on a solid surface, on the ground or on plant parts. | | |

In the females the eye colouration is paler. The thorax has black markings on its upper surface and on the sides. Young specimens of both sexes have yellow to bright red stripes on the surface of the middle segment of the thorax (mesothorax). In some females these stripes are paler - reddish-orange to yellow - and they can darken with age. The underside of the thorax is yellowish to whitish in both sexes. | | |
| ...us is the largest of the European butterflies and the only example of this genus in Europe. Female specimens are slightly larger than males and reach wing spans of 80 - 100 mm. The former can have front wings which are over 40mm in length. The upper surface of the front wings is light brown. There are yellowish-brown to orange-brown bands of colour at the edges which on the top edge of the hind wings are extended in black bezel. The hinder area of the wings has the same markings. The hind wings have 2 ...
... to orange-brown bands of colour at the edges which on the top edge of the hind wings are extended in black bezel. The hinder area of the wings has the same markings. The hind wings have 2 short tails (spores) and a number of blue spots on the upper surface. The underside of both pairs of wings has a vibrant patchwork of stripes and spots. | | |
| It reaches wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. The upper surface of the wings is orange in colour with black, brown and yellow spots. The underside of the wings is dark brown in colour and bears a striking, white marking in the form of a "C", hence the name "comma". The colouration and pattern...
... The colouration and patterning of the comma butterfly varies within a year from one generation to another. The caterpillars of the comma butterfly reach body lengths of up to 30 mm. They are orange-brown in colour are with black markings. The upper surface of the body is two-thirds white in colour. The upper third is yellow and black. | | |

The head and chest (thorax) are bright blue-green in colour. The upper surface has a metallic gold sheen. The upper surface of the abdomen shimmers red, copper red, purple or orange, while the underside is metallic blue or green. 4 teeth are visible at the rear edge of the back plates (tergite) of the last abdominal segment. The tergite has a finer punctation than those ... | | |

The host insects try to prevent the rubytail wasps from entering their nests, however the latter are not only equipped with a strong chitin-armoured surface, but are also able to roll their bodies and thus significantly can reduce their body surface. This protects them against bites and helps them to penetrate the narrow passages of the host nests. Thus, the rubytail wasp remains largely intact, with the exception of the wings, which sometimes get damaged. | | |
| | The abdomen of the female is flat with yellow spots on the 2nd and 3rd segments There is an unbroken, white, diagonal stripe on the 4th abdominal segment. The 5th segment also has a transverse whitish line on the upper surface. The males only have a white diagonal line on the upper surface of the 3rd segment. | | |
| | The wasp nests of Dolichovespula saxonica, are built from rotting wood, are grey in colour and are approximately the size of a ball? football or tennis ball or what? The whole exterior surface of the nests is smooth. While the adult animals feed mainly on nectar, the larvae are fed on flies. The life cycle of Dolichovespula saxonica is approximately April to September.
