Swallows build their nests from small lumps of clay mixed with saliva. The nest building process is usually carried out by the female swallow.
First, the swallow chooses a suitable place for the nest, for example, under the roof of a building or on a window. Then it begins to collect material and form the basis for the nest. The swallow usually collects clay from the nearest body of water, collecting it in its beak and mixing it with saliva. This gives the material stickiness and plasticity.
By placing lumps on top of each other, the swallow forms the walls of the nest. Inside, the nest is compacted with paws and insulated with various soft materials, including feathers.

To determine the sex of a cockchafer, you need to look at its antennae. Males have seven “antennae”, while females have only six.
Adult females lay eggs in the soil, where they can remain for several years. There the larvae develop, feeding on plant roots. They then undergo metamorphosis into nymphs, and finally adults emerge from underground in the spring to reproduce.
