Cloeon dipterum live close to standing or slowly flowing, vegetation-rich waters and are found from May to August in the mountains as well as in the lowlands. Egg laying takes place in ponds, pools, puddles, canals and ditches. The larvae hatch immediately They feed on dead organic material and algae. At the end...

Scarlet dragonflies are active from April to October. They prefer to live on warm stagnant water (lakes, ponds or pools), where their larvae can develop. The presence of abundant vegetation on the ground at the water's edge is always importantbecause the males like to be there.

... 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 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.

The fertilized females lay 20 - 30 oblong eggs, about 0. 5 mm in length, immediately after mating. This is done near the water’s edge, in the presence of the males who keep watch. After oviposition the females are guided back to the riparian vegetation by the males, and mating occurs again. The grip of the female on the male is so strong during mating that the blue wax layer at the end of the male’s abdomen dissolves and the tip turns black.

...is non endangered but is nonetheless protected like all dragonflies. It is found in the lowlands and in the mountains and prefers habitats with standing or slow flowing waters such as streams, ditches, marshes, and lakes or ponds with dense marginal vegetation where it can hide. The large red damselfly appears from April to August and is one of the earliest species of dragonflies which can be observed in the course of the year. It is diurnal and feeds on insects.

The eleven-spot ladybird lives in habitats with sandy soils and, for the most part, sparse vegetation, where it hunts and devours aphids on different plant species. Their larvae also prey on small insects such as aphids. The adult beetles overwinter in leaf litter or in other plant waste.

...rdens. 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.

Rhogogaster viridis appear in the summer months, mainly in vegetation-rich areas (forests, gardens, parks and hedgerows), where they hunt and eat insectson shrubs or herbaceous plants. They also reduce the numbers of pests.

Conops flavipes have a life expectancy of 3 - 4 months. Their preferred habitats are open areas with sufficient and varied vegetation. This includes meadows, dry grasslands or roadsides.

Meshweb weavers livein different habitats in Central Europe. They can be found on dry grass and ruderal vegetation, on trees, shrubs, perennials or inflorescences of dry plants. They also like to be in areas populated by humans. The meshweb weavers live off insects. Often, these are medium to large sized flying insects, which get caught in their finely spun webs...
