Spring!
Okay, its only a firebug, but it was the first bug I got in front of the new lens. The lens hoarder has a new baby, a Schneider Kreuznach Curtagon 28mm 4.0 from the 1960's. Its a rather slow lens, but there is no need to stop down with this open aperture performance. Shot is jpeg out of camera without any postprocessing.

Pyrrhocoris apterus. About 20 years ago children brought some firebugs into this garden. Their successors thrive and prosper.
Pyrrhocoris apterus
Raphosoma italicum is a species of shield bug in the family Pentatomidae. It is also known as the Striped bug (or Italian striped bug) and Minstrel bug.
G. italicum can reach a length of 8–12 mm (0.31–0.47 in). The body is almost round, with a large shield. The basic color of the upperside of the body is red, with wide black longitudinal stripes. The pronotum has six black bands. The antennae are black. Also the sides of the abdominal segments (connexivum) are red with many small black spots. The legs are mostly black, which distinguishes it from its relative, G. lineatum.
Graphosoma italicum had been regarded as either a subspecies, or a synonym, of G. lineatum for over 100 years, so nearly all of the existing literature prior to 2007 referred to this species under the name lineatum. The validity of G. italicum was reestablished via DNA analysis, which demonstrated that the sister species to G. italicum is G. rubrolineatum,
They don't seem to have an official English name, other than the scientific name. And they seem to be our the replacement for firebugs at our house.

Da sich in der Sammlung des Mumok Stiftung Ludwig, vor dem dieses verbrannte Klavier steht, das "Klavier Integrál" von Nam June Paik befindet.
Die Scheiterhaufen - nach der Ketzerverbrennung ist vor der Ketzerverbrennung - die brennenden Öfen der Nazis - das Verhältnis zwischen Brandstifter und Biedermann bei Max Frisch - Biedermann ist derjenige, der es überhaupt erst möglich macht - all die Biedermänner, die nichts sehen, nichts hören wollen.... Das zu Storyline, Querverweise, Parallelen, rote Fäden, die sich durchziehen, nicht abreissen, Fäden die sich kreuzen, Ablauf, kein Sprung, Verlauf, Dramaturgie,....
