The picture has notes. If you can't see them, going to lightbox and back again should do the trick. It's simply a Flickr quirk.
Best viewed in lightbox and on full screen (F11), of course!
David and Goliath (Season 2) - "A Second Chance" - Also, alas, doomed to failure! :-(
Previously on 24 ("Fast Food, on hand") - for those who missed it first time round or who, in the unlikely event, would like to see it again! ;-)
Incidentally, those of you who are meticulous TV addicts can see, from the EXIF data, that all these photos and indeed many others, were taken well within a 24-hour time frame.
You will also notice that I moved Goliath to a more savoury location so that he could digest his meal in pleasant surroundings ...
... but apparently, he hadn't quite finished eating! ;-)
These guys don't move around much and when they do it's normally very slowly and with stealth. However, when a meal comes along they slowly shift into overdrive!
The big guy is of course a praying mantis though the little guy in red is the one that should be praying!

One firebug basks on a leaf in the Autumn sun :)
The firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae, about 1 cm. long. Firebugs generally mate in April and May. Their diet consists primarily of seeds from lime trees and mallows. They can often be found in groups near the base of lime tree trunks, on the sunny side. They can be seen in tandem formation when mating which can take from 12 hours up to 7 days. The long period of copulating is probably used by the males as a form of ejaculate-guarding under high competition with other males.

Kowal bezskrzydły wygrzewający się w jesiennym słonku :)
Kowal bezskrzydły, kowal dwuplamek (Pyrrhocoris apterus) – gatunek pluskwiaka z rodziny kowalowatych, pospolity w Polsce. Osiąga długość około 1 cm. Często pojawia się w dużych gromadach u podstawy pni drzew liściastych, szczególnie lipy. Jest gatunkiem zazwyczaj nieszkodliwym dla środowiska, choć może uszkadzać młode drzewka w szkółkach i wyrządzać szkody w winnicach. Wczesną wiosną owady te budzą się i gromadzą w nasłonecznionych miejscach. Ich kopulacja trwa długo – często ponad 12 godzin, niekiedy nawet do 7 dni. W jej trakcie samiec i samica często poruszają się sczepione odwłokami. Z tego powodu kowale bezskrzydłe bywają popularnie nazywane tramwajami.
Larva L5 (ultimo estadio)
Las chinches zapateras
son probablemente las chinches más abundante de la fauna ibérica
Las larvas pasan por cinco estadios, con una duración de entre 17 y 24 días en condiciones de laboratorio constantes, aunque en la naturaleza se alarga considerablemente. Las larvas fracasan en su desarrollo a temperaturas inferiores a los 15 °C, probablemente debido al cese de actividad alimentaria a bajas temperaturas.

Cette punaise, qui est la plus répandue en Europe, est appelée « gendarme », « suisse » ou « soldat » en référence au costume rouge et noir que portaient les gendarmes au XVIIe siècle. On l’appelle aussi « cherche-midi », car elle recherche le soleil.
Elle mesure environ 10 mm et est incapable de voler (bien qu’« apterus » signifie « sans ailes », elle en possède, mais elles sont trop peu développées pour permettre le vol).
Elle fait partie des auxiliaires au jardin, car si elle se nourrit essentiellement des fruits et des graines de plantes de la famille des Malvacées (hibiscus, mauves, guimauve...) et des Tiliacées (tilleul), qu’elle pique à l’aide de son rostre pour en sucer les sucs, elle consomme aussi des pucerons et des œufs de petits insectes.
Elle est réputée inoffensive pour les humains, mais, comme les autres punaises, elle peut piquer et la piqûre peut être très douloureuse.
This bug, which is the most common in Europe, is known as the ‘gendarme’, ‘Swiss’ or ‘soldier’ in reference to the red and black uniform worn by gendarmes in the 17th century. It is also known as the “sun-seeker”, as it seeks out the sun.
It measures around 10 mm and is unable to fly (although “apterus” means “wingless”, it does have wings, but they are too underdeveloped to allow flight).
It is considered a beneficial insect in the garden, as whilst it feeds mainly on the fruits and seeds of plants in the Malvaceae family (hibiscus, mallows, marshmallow, etc.) and the Tiliaceae family (lime), which it pierces with its rostrum to suck out the juices, it also consumes aphids and the eggs of small insects.
It is considered harmless to humans, but, like other bugs, it can bite and the bite can be very painful.
Hey guys it's Alex here with another Dc figure
So I made Firefly from Batman Arkham Knight, the new helmet from The Wasp was just perfect for this dude👌
The torso is from Gray Squadron Pilot and the legs came in the series 9 on the Alien Avenger
Also the jet pack was the hardest part to make because it's really difficult to respect the minifigure scale and there are a lot of small details😩
So, what do you think ? I hope you liked it and don't forget to leave a comment !

This bright red little guy is a firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus). The scientific name actually means "wingless fire bug", but that is not entirely true.
This one has wings - it just can't fly which I suppose makes them somewhat pointless.
This one along with a whole slew of its brethren live underneath a couple of large thuja trees next to our house and that's where the brown structures around it come from - it's just dried shoots fallen to the ground.

Firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) knows how to take their time when making love. They couple like this and can then spend hours together - with one moving in reverse when they need to get around.
These two had found each other right in front of my house when I spotted them.
Taken for the www.flickr.com/groups/activeassignment/ Wildlife in your neighboorhood! These are so-called Firebugs (Pyrrhocoris apterus) which are living in the wood next to our garden!
MANY THANKS FOR YOUR KIND COMMENTS AND FAVS........ PLEASE TAKE A LOOK AT MY PHOTOSTREAM, FOR GENERAL PHOTOS OF NATURE ACROSS THE SPECTRUM OF WILDLIFE.
This strikingly handsome bug is found throughout most of Europe. Owing to climate change however, its range is steadily extending towards more temperate regions. Until recently, it was a rare visitor in the south of England, but is now starting to become more common and widespread. I photographed this one a few hundred yards from my home in South Yorkshire
It is often confused with the firebug, which at first glance looks very similar. The cinnamon bug, is between 9-12mm in length and is quite hairy. It is found in dry meadows and is associated with a range of plants. While it is active from April to October, it can be seen throughout the year. This is because adults, which tend to emerge in August/September, overwinter and make an appearance the following spring.

The firebug is easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration. Pyrrhocoris apterus is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwest China. It has also been reported from the USA, Central America and India. It has been reported as recently expanding its distribution northwards into mainland UK.

When my eyes beheld an eerie sight
For my monster from his slab began to rise
And suddenly to my surprise
He did the mash
He did the monster mash"

Hey guys it's Alex here with a back view of the jet pack
The jet pack is my favorite part and the hardest to make because as you can see, the system is very complex and fragile
So, what do you think ? I hope you liked it and don't forget to leave a comment !
