Now called FIREBUG. Housed in the old Gas Offices, this is one of a number of Leicester pubs set up during the late '80s/early '90s in large buildings vacated by other businesses e.g. BANK, O'NEILLS.

Hiding under a leaf :-)) Held the leaf with one hand - camera in the other - and then moved myself until he was in focus - I love these bugs :-) This is as shot - increased the saturation a little to get the colour I 'saw'

Die Gemeine Feuerwanze (Pyrrhocoris apterus) gehört zu den Feuerwanzen (Pyrrhocoridae) und ist neben der bräunlichen Feuerwanze (Pyrrhocoris marginatus) die einzige Art dieser Familie, die in Mitteleuropa vorkommt. Oft wird diese Wanzenart für einen Käfer gehalten und daher im Volksmund auch als Schuster- oder Feuerkäfer bezeichnet. Die Tiere leben gesellig, so dass man sie in den von ihnen bevorzugten Biotopen häufig in großer Zahl findet.
The firebug is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration, 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.

just for everyone's info... I've altered the colour of this plant. The actually colour is all bright pink/fuscia (no green). We have these in our garden and they make such a lovely feature plant.
Thanks for looking...
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.

There's been a lot of fires set in recent months – all by the same person, no doubt. One of our local firebugs has developed a taste for abandonment, burning down the memories I'd rather nature be left to rot and rust. This was one of my favorites, found with my wife on the week before our wedding, and revisited countless times since. It was featured in my book, Dereliction Is Better than Fiction, where I shared my photos/prose and called it Cryer's Paradise. That name comes from an old Ron Hynes song, but now all her weeping is over. She's dead and gone, like Mr. Hynes himself, just ash and cinder, blown by with the dust of last year's crops. It's a shame to see time cut to the chase, because with sturdy walls and a metal roof, there was a lot of crumbling coming. But despite the bastard arsonist, there's still love lingering, grisly beauty in the gristle of history smoldering. Here's to what's hanging on.
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.
On screenshot you see Hivurt UI debug process.
They say a change is as good as a rest (I dispute this, but...) but with that theory in mind, here's 3 pics I took at a friend's gig last week.
The setting was uber dark, so I had to be a little creative with the settings. The results have been well received though :)
Happy Birthday!! My best wishes to you!
