| Larven
gewoonlijk in allerlei aquatische tot semi-aquatische habitats, sommige
soorten terrestrisch, in mossen, paddestoelen en zwammen of in afstervend
en rottend hout. De meeste larven leven van rottend plantenmateriaal,
algen, mossen, paddestoelen en zwammen. De subfamilie Limnophilinae kent
veel soorten waarvan de larven prederen op insectenlarven, wormen en
andere kleine ongewervelde dieren. Bij de Limoniinae leven de meeste
larven in een van spinsel gemaakt buisje waarin ze ook verpoppen. Adulten
in allerlei meestal vochtigere biotopen, veelal in de buurt van de larvale
habitat en mannetjes vaak in zwermen.

The
larvae are generally found in various aquatic and semi-aquatic habitats.
Some species are terrestrial, living in mosses, mushrooms, bracket fungi,
or in dying or decaying wood. A few species are found in brackish or
saline habitats. Most larvae feed on rotting vegetable matter, algae,
mosses, mushrooms, etc. The subfamily Limnophilinae has many species of
wich the larvae prey on insect larvae, on worms and other small
invertebrates. In the subfamily Limoniinae most larvae live in a tube made
of strands they have spun and in which they also pupate. Adults are found
in several, usually moist habitats, often near those inhabited by their
larvae. Males often fly in swarms.

Ik hoop dit jaar meer Limoniidae soorten te
kunnen plaatsen.
I hope to place more photos of Limoniidae this year. |
