The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, 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.

This shows the order in which the different parts of the page loaded, the red one is the javascript for the advertisement that finally timed out after 3 minutes and 45 seconds. The blame rests on ad.bnmla.com. Furthermore, the vertical blue line in the firebug window represents the DOMContentLoaded event and the red line represents the window load event (both not happening until the ad finally timed out).

Everyone remembers Psycho, but I wonder who remembers this book?
Is that the best name they could think of for a spider-beetle-scorpion-bird monster from the center of the earth? This pic doesn't really show it, but this figure is HUGE. Same height as the other Gormiti, but has a lot more depth and weight than any but the faction leaders. Really, you could put a kid's eye out with him.
(Pyrrhocoris apterus, in Czech: Ruměnice pospolná).
As a child I was wondering why these bugs are doing such impractical thing. Later I've found out that it was sex! ;-)

I just happened to be up in the wee hours on this mid Sept night when I heard off noises from outside. I went to the window as I heard a car horn sounding and then while there an explosion went off with an added smell of burning rubber and plastic in the air. Then I hear firetrucks approaching nearby. I got dressed and went a half a block to the scene and this. A bunch of vehicles had been on fire as people stood around in amazement watching them burn while some Calgary Firefighters dowsed them with water and foam.

Half a century ago Thayer Professor James Browning ’44 was nicknamed Hanover’s firebug for his study of flame stability and combustion. In the 1950s he created a plasma torch that produced flames twice as hot as the sun’s surface. Passing nitrogen or hydrogen through a high-intensity electric arc, the torch cut metal like butter. Browning and Thayer colleague Merle Thorpe founded Thermal Dynamics Corp. to manufacture the device. Within three years the start-up had sales of $1 million. A decade later, Thayer Professor Robert Dean and Richard Couch ’64, Th’65 formed Hypertherm Inc. to produce a water-injection plasma torch that was nine times hotter than the sun. Today that company employs 500 people.

This species has a huge range from Western Europe to Asia. It has a tinly population in the United Kingdom where it is at the extreme edge of its range. It is common across central and southern Europe where Lime and Mallow occur. The adults and larvae feed primarily on the seeds of these species. These were photographed in early July in the grounds of Abbaye Saint-Georges, Saint Marin-de Boscherville, Seine-Maritime (76), France.
