| Adult Vanessa cardui reach wing spans of 45-60 mm. Their forewings have black tips with white spots which bear a certain resemblance to the wing tips of the red admiral (Vanessa atalanta). The base of the forewings is yellowish brown. The inner area of the wing is orange with black patches. The pattern on the forewings’ underside is a distinctly paler version of that on the upper surface. On the upper edge (of the forewings’ upper surface) there are 2 large bright spots. The black area on the wing tips can be interspersed or mottled with brown or shades from orange to red. | | |
| | Adult Rutpela maculata reach body lengths of 14 - 20 mm. Their bodies are elongated and slimly built. Their base colour is black. The antennae are alternately black and yellow. The wing covers (elytra ) are yellow, usually with black markings towards the front. There are spots / patches on the wing tips, more or less associated with black crossing bands. The markings and colouration of the wing covers vary greatly in this species, and they serve to mislead other insects through wasp mimicry. | | |
| | | Rove beetles | | ...nd Anthophagus caraboides. The oldest fossil findings suggest that the rove beetle has been in existence for at least 220 million years.
The shape of the rove beetle’s body is very untypical of beetles’ Its body is usually elongated, and the wing covers are shortened, so that the abdomen is unprotected. The advantage of this is that the beetles have greater mobility when entering smallest cavities. The wings are enfolded by the wing covers. The body length of the rove beetle, (depending on type), ranges from 0.5 to 50 mm and the body is usually black or brown in colour. Occasionally species with a metallic blue-violet or blue colour can be encountered. Other species are ver... | | |

The body length of the Asian ladybird is from 6 to 8 mm, and its body width is from 5 to 7 mm. The color of the beetles is from a wide spectrum. The wing covers are light yellow to dark red in color . An Asian ladybird usually has 19 spots , although the spots may be so large that the basic color of the wing cover appears to be black, and the red color appears to be the spots. Likewise, the spots can be missing or very faint. The yellowish neck shield bears a drawing in the form of a black "W" or "M". | | |
| | Chrysolina sanguinolenta | | The Chrysolina sanguinolenta is a member of the leaf beetle family. It is commonly found in Europe and Asia.
This beetle can reach lengths of 6 to 9 mm. Their bodies are dark. The wing covers have a red edge and rows of points. The wing color is pink.
The main food of the Chrysolina sanguinolenta is the Common Toadflax.

| | Common earwig | | ...er Forficulina, the family Forficulidae, and the subfamily Forficulinae. Adults reach body lengths of 10 - 16 mm. Their bodies are predominantly brown in colour, with transition to some shades of red. The pronotum has light-brown sides. The legs and wing covers are yellowish in colour. The hind wings are longer and extend a little bit beyond the wing covers. The males’ pincers are broad and flat at the base. There is a tooth on the pincers. The common earwig has antennae with 15 segments. | | |
| | The adult butterflies (imagos) reach wingspans of 40 - 50 mm. The colour of their bodies varies widely. On the upper surface, brownish and reddish hues dominate. The head, chest and abdomen have brownish-yellow hair. Their forewings have a brownish-red upper surface, with a striking pattern of yellow to orange-red spots. There is always a black "eye" patch with a white core near the wing tips. On the bright seam of the wings runs a thin margin. Near the “eyes” are more patches of yellow. which run parallel to the outer edge of the wings. The outer edges of the forewings are convex. The underside of the forewings is a brownish colour and is mottled black, yellow and white. There is one white "eye" patch near the wing tips. | | |
| ...ve short, club-shaped antennae. Their mouthparts (maxillary palpi) are elongated, yellowish to reddish-brown in colour and hair-like (filiform) and may be mistaken for antennae. The maxillary palpi like the antennae often have dark ends. On the wing covers (elytra) are 10 stripes of fine, puncture-like points. These stripes, which are lengthwise and become furrow shaped at the rear end, are the main distinguishing feature of the water scavenger beetle. Additional rows from irregular posite...
...unlight. They are often found (as adults or larvae) floating on the surface of salt water or brackish water (mixture of river and sea water). The adults eat rotten plant debris. They surface for air head first and trap air to breath under their wing covers (elytra) and "row" themselves along by alternating the hind legs, wiggling from side to side as they swim. Their eyesight is not very developed. Therefore, it is possible for the beetles to land on? reflective surfaces (wet or sh... | | |

... the antennae and the body shape, is an essential feature in the identification of the various species and gave rise to their common name in both English and German. Here, the number of strips and the mesh of the lattice plays an essential role. The wing membranes are difficult to discern beneath the ‘lace’. There are species with well developed wings and others which cannot fly because their wings are too short. The lace bugs and their larvae excrete wax particles, which make them look as if they are powdered with dust. Due to their external appearance, lace bugs can be confused with Piesmidae. | | |
| | ...important feature for classification within the genus are the two lines of points, which run on the left and right sides of the middle of the pronotum. Both lines consist of 4 points. 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 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. | | |
