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"

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 !
Original picture by me
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.
Legero tanke modela 2 de 90 mm malrapido kanona modifaja 1 (parasutaj) was developed by the request of Asparantian Air Forces to provide an airborne armored vehicle capable of performing general tasks such as reconnaissance and limited anti-tank support. The Fajrocime, or "Firebug", was armed with 90-mm low velocity smoothbore cannon equipped with HESH and HEAT rounds. The main armament is paired with coaxial 12.7-mm machine gun.
Loosely based on various airborne vehicles of the "fifties" era - starting with the well-known Engin Leger de Combat to the more obscure ones such as 1955 Chimera tank destroyer (generally known as a "Manticore light tank" thanks to one certain videogame)
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.
Here's one alone, a Firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus. You've probably mostly seen them in large groups and chances are pairs were procreating, 'randy' as these perfectly innocuous bugs are. You might even blush pink or scarlet when you realise their Happy Conjugation can take up to seven days.
Looking carefully, I did spy another on a nearby Mallow Flower; whether they intended to meet for tea... who knows. But I hurried home in the nasty wind for that Hot Brew.

Alle meine Stockrosen sind von Dutzenden von Feuerwanzen besetzt - sie scheinen aber keinen Schaden anzurichten, obwohl alle Malvenarten ihre Lieblingsspeise sein sollen.
All my hollyhocks are occupied by dozens of firebugs but fortunately they don't seem to cause much damage...

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 ?

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!
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.
Sus picaduras provocan manchas en hojas y desecación de la espiga y aparecen espigas arrugadas y deformadas, además el grano sufre una pérdida de peso y las harinas resultantes son de peor calidad por la destrucción del gluten.
Aelia spp.; A. rostrata y A. germari
Invernan en estado adulto en plantas adventicias, escondidos en el suelo bajo rocas, en árboles, etc. En primavera recobran su actividad de manera escalonada para formar los focos primarios de infestación en los cereales, preferentemente en cebada por ser más precoz. En este momento, los adultos se aparean y la hembra realiza la puesta sobre la planta y muere. Las primeras larvas comienzan a alimentarse realizando picaduras en la planta, completando una generación. Los nuevos adultos abandonan el cultivo en agosto para dirigirse a los lugares de invernación, cerrándose asà el ciclo.
Little unusual view, because they are usually seen in groups, but maybe this one is just waiting there for friends ;)
