Vrij zeldzame bodemwants, de vuurwants, voorzichtig geplaatst op een lichte spijkerbroek van mijn vrouw.
De zwart-rode kleur is om insecteneters af te schrikken, die denken hopelijk dan dat het een giftig insect is.
Pyrrhocoris is a genus of true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae, the cotton stainers. There are about six species. The best known by far is Pyrrhocoris apterus, commonly called the firebug, red firebug, linden bug, sap sucking bug, and red soldier bug.
The red-black coloring is a warning (aposematism), as they are poisonous by storing substances from their poisonous host plants. The birds learn to avoid these prey.

At first I thought this was a firebug, but on closer inspection it's another red-and-black bug. Surprisingly for something so distinctive, it doesn't seem to have a common name.

About a month back, I was asked by Mac Makeup artist Mev Apple to photograph some models for her portfolio. Organising this was a long process, with location, models etc. We shot the photos upstairs in Firebug in Leicester and made a mini set from a sofa and some cheap wallpaper. Cheers to Ailise for helping me out for the day
Pyrrhocoris apterus - Gendarme ou Pyrrhocore - The Firebug - FRANCE - Occitanie
Curée sur les restes d'une cétoine
Le nom gendarme vient du fait que les couleurs et motifs rappellent les habits rouge et noir des gendarmes à partir de la fin du xviie siècle. C'est pour les mêmes raisons que le pyrrhocore est également appelé Soldat ou Suisse
L'accouplement a lieu principalement au début du printemps et dure fréquemment entre 12 heures et 7 jours, ce qui est probablement un moyen pour les mâles d'empêcher la compétition avec d'autres mâles.

The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black colouration, it 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. They are frequently observed to form aggregations, especially as immature forms, with from tens to perhaps a hundred individuals.(wiki)

Pyrrhocoris apterus
Petit insecte commun (9 mm ici) aux nombreux noms vernaculaires (pompiers, diable, suisse, soldat...) en raison de sa couleur.
A common little insect (9 mm here) with many vernacular names in France (fireman, devil, swiss, soldier...) because of its color.
During this section of the course, I've really begun to read and research photographers whose images have inspired me. I came across the work of Rut Blees Luxemburg in the inspirational first chapter of Charlotte Cotton's book and spent some time researching further. Cotton says of Luxemburg's work:
[...]when the urban night scene is illuminated in a dramatic way, the surreal and psychologically charged potential of space is emphasised. But each epoch has its own artistic concerns and particular narrative conclusions. With their uncanny qualities, Luxemburg's pictures take something of the history of night time photography, but imbues it with the contemporary and personal experience of the city.
This led me to begin researching this 'history' and I was drawn to the work of several other artists who have informed some of the pictures that I've submitted here. The picture that I've chosen for 'diagonals' references Luxemburg's work, but I hope is subtly different. She uses a 5x4 camera and long exposures, ensuring that everything in the frame is in focus. I love her work but find the images a little 'clean'. I wanted a narrow depth of field that would keep the reflected sign in focus, but loose some definition in the puddle and road surface. I shot hand held with a fixed lens Fuji, metering for the brightest part but exposing -2 stops darker to make the feel more claustrophobic.
Compositionally, the eye is first drawn to the bright letters of the reflection, but the strong diagonal leads our eye across the rest of the image. As discussed during the exercise on diagonals, they tend to be straight lines that are diagonal due to perspective.
These night time reflections are also explored in the wonderful ‘Retail’ by Tim Davis. Fantastically crafted night time shots of urban America with corporate, neon signs reflected in the windows of houses.

Among the unforgiving spikes of a dried thistle, two red firebugs find a moment of connection. The soft nest-like fibers contrast sharply with the harsh geometry of their world. Captured with natural backlight, this close-up reveals an unexpected tenderness in nature’s most armored places.
Shot handheld with shallow depth of field for visual isolation and contrast.
A tribute to microdrama and survival in the undergrowth.

League of Heroes: Ascent
Episode 1: Jail Break - Part 4
Interior - Tunnel system below the prison:
Sam Sterling was drenched in sweat. He had been beaten and bruised, and now he was on the retreat. His fight against Firebug and Barricade had not gone well at all. With his gleaming shield and his mechanized armor, he was able to hold out against their combined might. The battered structure around them, on the other hand, had not fared so well and soon collapsed in a thunderous clamor.
When Sam came to, he was three levels down and there was no sign of Firebug or Barricade. Though, he soon found his mentor, Captain Electron, broken and beaten to unconsciousness. William Watts lay in a heap against the cold cement floor. His mask had been torn away and he had apparently been left for dead by his attackers.
Sam regained his composure, the servos and actuators in his suit helping him to upright himself, and he got to his feet. His HUD in his helmet blared multiple warnings. Slowly, he made his way over to Watts and gathered the fallen hero into his arms.
“Sir? Are you awake? Are you even alive?” Sam felt like weeping as he tried to check for a pulse. He had let down his mentor. He had promised him that he would be there when he needed him, but he had failed. In exchange for that failure, William Watts had paid the ultimate price.
“You’d know that if you’d look at your HUD… geez…” A weak voice groaned up at Sam. "Anyway... I'm still kicking... barely."
“You’re alive!” Sam blushed, embarrassed that he forgot about all of the tech that was crammed into his suit. Suddenly alarms went off in his helmet… warning of an impending explosion.
Silver Sentry got to his feet and dashed away as quickly as he could, cradling Watts in his arms. He could feel the heat of the explosion at his back before he heard it. Flames burst through the subterranean corridor as the two heroes made their narrow escape.
… It all began with an explosion… Now it was time to rise from the flames.
