The babies eat snails but the adults do not eat. All of them have wings but only the males fly. They fly once it gets dark and flash a light every second. The females sitting in the grass will flash back if they see a male's light.

Nicrophorus humator
Green shield bug
Silverfish
This insect doesn't fly as it doesn't have wings. It is a fast runner and is covered in silvery scales. This one likes to live in dark cupboards and eat books and mould. It causes lots of damage.
