The larvae of soldier beetles have long, soft bodies, which are often a velvety dark colour. They live on and in the soil and feed on small insects, snails, worms, or parts of plants (young shoots or pollen). Soldier beetle larvae overwinter under rocks, leaves, moss or bark. On sunny winter days they can be observed crawling in the snow (snow worms).

...aphigaster nebulosa hibernate under tree bark, in cracks and crevices, and in parts of buildings. They may appear en masse, especially in late summer or early autumn, on the sunlit walls of buildings, where they absorb heat before they go into their winter hiding places. The tachinid fly, Cylindromyia bicolor, is among the natural enemies of the Rhaphigaster nebulosa. Its larvae feed on the insert of older juvenile bugs.

Due to their role as pollinators of early blooming fruit trees, Bibio clavipes are considered ecologically significant. The larvae make an important contribution to the formation of humus in the soil, but can also be harmful to plant roots in winter time or in dry seasons, especially if they occur en masse.

These caterpillars regularly drink dew or rain drops. They eat moor grass (Molinia caerulea), reed canary grass (Phalaris arundinacea), reed (Phragmites australis) or sedge (Cyperaceae). The caterpillars are resistant to the cold winter and in the 3rd Larval stage are to find on grass. The larvae continue eating in the spring. In May, they pupate in a parchment-like cocoon, with strong bristles. The pupa hangs from a blade of grass, is black and red in colour and darkens wit time. ...
