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.

Juvenile Firebugs / Junge Feuerwanzen (Pyrrhocoridae)
Some minutes ago in our garden - Frankfurt-Nordend
Enjoy the rest of your sunday (like they do :-)) !!

Thanks to Mary Faith for the flower ID.
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.

"I was working in the lab late one night
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"

The European Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) sure take their time mating. These guys can be coupled for hours (no, really) and walk around in pairs - one of them in reverse of course.
One of the others probably didn't want to wait for them to pass so he or she went straight over them instead.
Jeez I really do have a problem with this sorta thing

Two firebugs on the tree trunk :)
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.

Dwa kowale bezskrzydłe na pniu drzewa :)
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.

As with many things in nature, it is a tough ask for us humans to know the explanation behind what we're witnessing. Eventually, we may find it, but will it still be relevant ?

One of them is missing its wings. Neither of them really cares. They are useless anyway. The genes are still intact and that's what counts.
This bug is often mistaken for the European firebug but is a totally different species with its own pattern of black spots. It is widespread in the UK. This one was photographed in the sand dunes between Ainsdale and Southport.
And here I thought I was out of ideas (Though I will be, after this post)
Ragman: I don't know nearly enough about this guy, but he seems badass. Mummy head, lots of cloth pieces, Statue of Liberty torso.
Trickster: A more classic look: Riddler hair, CMF King torso, Trickster legs.
Captain Atom: Not much to look at, but it felt weird that I didn't have a fig of him around. Ninjago head, Adaptoid torso, Retro Space Guy hips.
KGBeast: I knew I'd find a use for that TTGO Raven head. Painted over the alt face and the mouth on this side, then painted on eyes.
Firebug: His gaudy Deadshot: Bulletproof look circa 2005: Boxing helmet, Onlinesailin(rip) Reverse Flash head, MM Iron man torso, Pizza delivery guy arms, Lifeguard legs that I painted boots on for another thing ages ago.
Javelin: Stolen almost verbatim from HMD. Spider-Man robber head, reversed Trickster torso.
Pretty solid line-up I feel, but let me know what you think!
