The #rosechafer #Cetonia #aurata (#Scarabaeidae) is distributed from Europe to Asia. The #saprophagous #larvae develop over about two years in Central Europe in #soil substrates often under #deadwood. According to R. Beaven et al. (2025), #rectalcomplexes as in C. autata (larvae only) are recycling systems of the #gutcontents and #evolved #independently within Scarabaeideae.

#Lauxaniidae (#Acalyptratae, #Diptera) are smaller #fly species that often prefer the proximity of forests. Their #larvae, as a #saprophagous developmental stage, feed on dead wood or other decomposing plant #debris. The author, C. H. Marchiori (2024), has #studied the #biology, morphology, and systematics of this and other fly taxa.
