| Wool Carder Bee / Leafcutting Bee (Anthidium manicatum) | | ...e. It is with characteristic wasp-like black and yellow markings on the body. These yellow markings join on the abdomen.
The males can reach a length of 14 to 18 mm and have 5 spikes on the end of their abdomens.,which they use to defend their territory. Female Anthidium manicatum are 11 to 12 mm in length.
The Anthidium manicatum lives on nectar and pollen, which it collects from plants such as Stachys, sage or motherwort. It nests in pre-existing holes in earth, masonry or wood. The f... | | |
| | ...important characteristic of these insects is the whitish-yellow marking on the forehead, which sometimes resembles a twice or trice jagged crown. The crown-like marking differs on each bee wolf. The males have large mandibles on the head to mark out territory and attract females in the mating season. | | |
| | | Before mating, flat-footed flies often appear in large swarms, in which they mark their territory by leaving scent marks on trees and shrubs. As they fly up and down, their legs hang down. On leaves and wet sandy soils, they can be recognized by their zigzag movements. | | |

They prey on flying insects, capturing them while flying at low levels and the males may show considerable perseverance. Southern hawkers defend their territory at the water against conspecifics as well as other species of dragonflies. | | |
| | During the mating season, (which is from mid July toAugust), the males can be observed on "patrol" flights, looking for females. During these, they often stay in the air. They fight with rival conspecifics when entering their territory. Mating almost always begins near the ground and often ends at the top of trees or bushes near water. | | |
| | These flies prefer moist,shady, deciduous or mixed forests, but are also encountered at their edges, especially in areas with moist and sandy soil. Before mating, the flat-footed flies often appear in large swarms, in which they mark their territory by leaving scent marks on trees and shrubs. As they fly up and down they let their legs hang down. When encountered on leaves and on wet sandy soils, they can be identified by their zigzag movements. | | |
| | Scarlet dragonflies prey on insects (flies, mosquitoes), or on spiders, which they catch while in flight. They have their own territory which they defend against rivals. The mating season of the scarlet dragonfly is from May to August in Central Europe, and from April to October in the Mediterranean. Mating begins within a few seconds of flight and is usually continued on the ground... | | |
| | ...ined skimmer prefers rocky edges of water with many stones, sand pits and loose reeds or rushes or standing water (lakes, ponds, pools) or beaches. Adults are found from June to September. They live off insects. 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 rem... | | |

They can be watched in their flights for hours. Male specimens of two-tailed pasha guard their territory and fend off competitors from the same species. Occasionally, they even scare away small birds. Two generations of two-tailed pasha are active from May to June and from August to September. | | |
