| Canary speckled wood | The canary speckled wood (Pararge xiphioides) is a species in the order butterflies and moths (Lepidoptera), the family Nymphalidae, the subfamily Satyrinae, the tribe Elymniini, and the genus Pararge.

... family Nymphalidae, the subfamily Satyrinae, the tribe Elymniini, and the genus Pararge. The species is widespread in the Canary Islands of La Gomera, La Palma, Tenerife and Gran Canaria and is the most abundant butterfly there. The canary speckled wood is considered non-endangered and produces several new generations a year. | | |
| | 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 on the quality and nutrient content of the wood, in which the larvae live. | | |
| | | The larvae of Leptura quadrifasciata feed mainly on willow wood. Alternative sources of food are oak, beech, birch, alder or hazel bushes. The beetles are not considered to be pests because the larvae reside in dead wood.

| | Mason bees | | ...d belong to the family Megachilidae. Approximately 50 different species are found in Central Europe. These include Osmia bicornis and Osmia cornuta.
Mason bees build their nests in walls, cracks in stone, , (sandy) soil, hollow plants, dead wood from trees or in the galleries of wood-boring insects. The females build individual brood chambers inside the nest using glandular secretions and leaf pieces. ) They deposit pollen and nectar in each brood chamber for the future larvae before they start laying eggs. After oviposition... | | |
| | Flat-footed flies prefer moist and shady deciduous or mixed forests, and also like their periphery, especially areas with moist and sandy soil. Some species have an affinity for wood smoke or wood ash. | | |
| | In addition to the wood-eating larvae, there are species that live off roots or feed on stems of thistles, nettles, figworts or grass. The larvae pupate in sealed cells in special passages dug into the wood or beneath the bark. The young longhorn beetles hatch from the pupae through an opening. Overwintering usually occurs as a larva, rarely as a beetle. | | |
| | The wasp nests of Dolichovespula saxonica, are built from rotting wood, are grey in colour and are approximately the size of a ball? football or tennis ball or what? The whole exterior surface of the nests is smooth. While the adult animals feed mainly on nectar, the larvae are fed on flies. The life cycle of Doli... | | |

The Anthidium manicatum lives on nectar and pollen, which it collects from plants such as Stachys, sage or motherwort. It nests in pre-existing holes in earth, masonry or wood. The females build individual cells for their eggs using pieces of leaves bound together by a substance they secrete. They then supply each cell with pollen or nectar, before introducing an egg into the cell. After egg-laying the cell is sealed... | | |
| | The Zygielle x-notata likes to spin its web in window frames. It is also found in house walls, corners, grating, wood piles or under the bark of old trees. Its need for heat often drives it to seek out human settlements. The females spin webs almost the whole year round. The adult spider can be encountered from high summer to late autumn. The eggs (laid by the f... | | |

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, m... | | |
