#bugs for #FlickrFriday

 

These are firebugs. In Russia, we call them soldier-bugs. There are a lot of them in spring and summer, and while they may look threatening because of their bright-red colour, they are not really harmful. They do not bite humans or animals, nor do they damage the agricultural crops very much.

 

Also, while I was googling what they are called in English, I found out that when firebugs are in this position, they are, in fact, mating.
