The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Firebugs generally mate in April and May. Their diet consists primarily of seeds from lime trees and mallows.
They can be seen in tandem formation when mating which can take from 12 hours up to 7 days. The long period of copulating is probably used by the males as a form of ejaculate-guarding under high competition with other males.[1]

We had a blast at my parents' house this Easter weekend. Ian got to play with fire and I went swimming in the pond the next day. I think the Christmas tree is in that brushfire somewhere.
Anti-forestfire campaign in Idaho. Used to be lot's of these posted on the highways of Idaho. They are rare these days but you still see one from time to time. Found this one at an historical pull-out on Whitebird Mt. in central Idaho. I left the pick-up license plate in the crop so you can see the picture has not been inverted.
Random stranger knows exactly what to do when a camera is pointed at him. Thank you, whoever you are.
Taken at White Noise Festival, when I was somewhere where I wasn't supposed to.
