An Otago firebug who loved to torch farmers’ stacks of wheat went unpunished on 16 October 1864 after a jury of 12 men admitted that they had no idea who was causing mayhem in the district.
This was the subject of a coroner’s inquest. It is a little known fact that coroners once investigated destruction of buildings when no one actually died, but it’s rare to find a full coroner’s jury empanelled to investigate the destruction of a crop. They weren’t up to the task and the Queenstown coroner found that “some person to the Jurors unknown feloniously, wilfully and maliciously did set fire to the said stacks belonging to the said Thomas MacIntyre.”
The foreman added: “the Jury deplore the frequency of fire in the district and refer the matter to the Provincial Government.”
It is not recorded what happened next – did the firebug quit while he was ahead or did the crops continue to burn?
Shown here is part of MacIntryre’s statement to the Coroner.

La familia de los Pyrrhocoridae son llamados "teñidores algodón" debido a que sus cuerpos rojos eran aplastados junto con el algodón donde cuando se cosechaba, siendo esas manchas difíciles de eliminar .
Su mecanismo de alimentación también corta las fibras y por lo tanto afecta el crecimiento de la bola de algodón. Causaron problemas masivos en los Estados Unidos durante la revolución industrial.

from the conrad tour 2006: while in kamloops, b.c. a fire broke out across the street while we were setting up to play at the club 1/2 block away.
I think this is probably a Firebug: Pyrrhocoris apterus. I saw several similar Hemipteran bugs with slightly different patterns but I think they were different instars of the same species. South of France - Provence (Avignon) - August (on my hols!!) They almost always scuttled under the leaves when anyone approached - hence this one is in the shade, hanging upsidedown.
Mozilla has Firebug, but Safari has something better out of the box.
