| Adult longhorn beetles feed on pollen, flower parts or tree juices. Some species prefer tree bark or leaves and the stems of cabbage plants. Other species don’t eat anything or are predatory. The life span of an adult longhorn beetle is anything up to 90 days, in many species less than 1 month. | | |
| | The females use ovipositors to lay their eggs in small cracks or holes in their larvae’s food plants. The larvae of longhorn beetles are pure herbivores. They mainly feed on wood. Their bodies are flat when they live under tree bark and cylindrical, when they bore into the interior of the tree. Some species specialize in dead wood. Heartwood eating larvae, such as the old-house borer (Hylotrupes bajulus), can cause major damage to the wooden structures of buildings and are often noticed too late. The duration of the larval period depends ... | | |
| | | Cleridae fly and run well. They are present on different flowering plants or on tree bark, where they prey on other insects or their larvae. Female Cleridae (depending on species) lay 28 to 42 eggs under tree bark. The hatched larvae also prey on other insects. | | |
| | The booklice live on different plants, tree trunks, under tree bark, in dead wood, bird nests and even in buildings. They eat fungi, spores, algae and lichens. Occasionally they also eat dead insects. Booklice need a medium to high humidity and temperatures over 15 degrees Celsius and are capable of absorbing w... | | |
| | Valenzuela flavidus live on various plants, tree trunks and tree bark. They feed, amongst other things, on fungus. They have a life expectancy of up to 12 weeks. Females are capable of laying up to 120 eggs in a lifetime. When conditions are favourable (in buildings) they can produce up to 8 new generations. | | |
| The great capricorn beetle prefers to live in warm deciduous forests, parks or small river valleys with trees. It is found almost exclusively in sunny places with old, sick or dying oak trees, in which its larvae develop. However, it completely avoids dead wood. Occasionally, it is also found on hornbeam (Carpinus), chestnut (Castanea), locust bean plants (Ceratonia), ash (Fraxinus), walnut (Juglans), pears (Pyrus), black locust (Robini...
... Occasionally, it is also found on hornbeam (Carpinus), chestnut (Castanea), locust bean plants (Ceratonia), ash (Fraxinus), walnut (Juglans), pears (Pyrus), black locust (Robinia), willow (Salix) and elm (Ulmus). The great capricorn beetle feeds on tree sap expired from injured mature trees or tree fruits. | | |
| | ...Bees build hexagonal combs of wax which are used for rearing the young and the storage of pollen and honey. To prevent the introduction of diseases into the hive, cracks and small holes are blocked with an antibiotic "putty", made from tree resin and pollen, called propolis. In addition, all surfaces (including inside the combs) are sealed with a thin film of propolis. | | |
| | Moths | | ... are not always nocturnal but they only fly in sunny weather. Most moths are inconspicuous and dully coloured and this allows them a kind of camouflage when they rest in the daytime. Their wing colouration often mimics the appearance of their roost (tree bark, dry leaves). | | |
| | Darkling beetles | | ...retions. The beetle larvae are long, round and yellowish in color.
Darkling beetles prefer hot and sandy habitats (deserts, steppes (large areas of flat unforested grassland). They are tyically encountered in dead wood, bark, straw, hay, leaves, tree fungi , abandoned nests, and even in buildings.
Both adult and darkling beetle larvae are herbivores or omnivores. They often live in in the company of other darkling beetles and feed on rotting plants, seeds, mushrooms or dead insects. Darkli... | | |

Ichneumon wasps (Ichneumonidae) are the primary natural enemies of Lygus pratensis. | | |
