This hoverfly is found in Europe, Central Asia and North Africa from April to September. It mainly lives in gardens, where it can be found on Apiaceae or Umbelliferae (hogweeds, carrots etc). Its larvae develop in small, muddy bodies of water, but also in rotting holes filled with water in the branches of trees.

...s of 5 mm to 15 mm. They are characterized by a seemingly elongated neck and abdomen, the latter, being significantly thicker towards the rear, is easily recognizable. The front wings are folded lengthwise. The adult wasps are mainly found on umbelliferae flowers, mint, thistle or golden rod plants. Their larvae mostly live as parasites in the nests of some kinds of bees or wasps, for example, digger wasps or solitary wasps. The fertilized females lay their eggs in spring in the nests of their la...

They suck the juices from various plants, including Umbelliferae, hogweed and cow parsley. Mating usually occurs in spring, but sometimes in summer. The females lay their eggs (by gluing them) in small groups on leaves and stems. After 8 - 10 days the larvae hatch and are guarded for a while. (sounds a bit va...

...longhorn beetle is found at all altitudes. These diurnal beetles appear from May to September. They are avid flower visitors and prefer meadows in the vicinity of (deciduous) forests. They feed on pollen and the nectar of various flowers, such as Umbelliferae (Apiaceae), yarrow (Achillea), Scabiosa and roses (Rosa). Mating usually takes place on the blossoms of the plants they like to eat. The female uses its ovipositor to lay eggs in dry soil or cracks in wood. The larvae freely live in soil with myce...

Adult Stictoleptura cordigera visit flowering plants, especially Umbelliferae (Apiaceae). The larvae of the beetle develop in the decaying wood of deciduous trees.

...from May to September in deciduous forests, in forest clearings, forest edges, forest meadows and wet meadows, as well as in parks or large gardens. The adult beetles are diurnal and can be found sitting on small trees and a variety of other plants (Umbelliferae, Asteraceae) where they feed on pollen, nectar and young leaves. When they occur en masse, they can cause considerable damage to vegetation. Amonsgt their natural enemies are: insect-eaters, birds and spiders.

Tenthredo campestris prefer sufficiently moist habitats with bushes, such as forest edges or areas with many hedges, but they can also be found in dry environments. From May to July, they can be encountered on herbaceous plants (especially Umbelliferae) and various shrubs, where they feed, mostly on nectar.

Rubytail wasps prefer sunny, dry habitats up to high altitudes. They can be found from May to September on warm stone walls, wooden walls, telegraph poles and fences. The adults live off nectar from plants of the parsley family (Umbelliferae).

...wasps are active from July to October. They prefer to live on roadsides, embankments or sand pits. Sandy or loamy soils, suitable for nesting, are of particular interest. Field digger wasps, and their brood, feed on flies. In addition, they seek out Umbelliferae or animal faeces (eg cow dung). When the field digger wasp sees a fly, it sneaks up, jumps on it and may fall with it to the ground. There, it paralyzes the fly and transports it to the nest. It may also happen that the field digger wasp does not pa...
