Look at the state of my old school! The buildings were to be demolished in the near future, but the firebugs got to them on the 19th June 2008.
It's a bit sad seeing the old place in such a sorry state, but maybe better that it went out with a bang.
I would have liked to have got closer, but the security chaps were keeping an eye on me.
I've added some notes with what I remember some of the classrooms to be.

We found these swarming on a dead branch. Some individuals only have three dots on their abdomen. I suspect those must be the nymphs of this species, as of yet I haven't found any conclusive material though.
The markings on the 'two-eyed' ones are awesome, they remind me of little African Masks.

Fire Bugs can't fly, they 'suck' fallen seeds and attack other insects (1) they can feed on their own dead as well, according to Wikipedia [NL]: the colour of the bug depends on the surrounding temperature.(2)

Firebugs
On a Sunday walk I saw something red on a tree trunk. Thought of something like a mushroom until I took a closer look. On the trunk there were hundrets of these bugs.
I wish you all a nice week!
