A cute little Tuscan firebug that kindly posed for a quick macro.
I've only seen firebugs once in our garden in the UK so was surprised/delighted to find hundreds of them around Capanna Leopoldina, the property at which we stayed in Castellina in Chianti, Tuscany. Not everyone in the party was as pleased as me as they frequently came to visit the breakfast table!
This is shot by placing an old piece of vine against a stone wall, gently lifting one of the firebugs onto the vine and allowing it to climb until it had nowhere to go.

Sporty's was a short hop from Red Stewart Airfield. We stopped by for some charts and to get some paperwork signed by Steve and give Jerod a little extra practice. The inside was really cool. There was a cool diner inside, a Cessna hanging from the ceiling that was being raffled off, and you could order anything from their catalog and a girl would get on a bike and ride through the big warehouse in the back to pick it up. This is also where Firebug got her transponder installed. Steve was very sad to see someone else flying her.
The thing thats so good about the Firebug extension, is not just that it combines all the useful inspection tools - DOM Inspector, View Source, Javascript console etc into one place, but that its an extension that HAS A DECENT MAC THEME FOR IT. Huzzah!
So many extensions are great, but look overly PC-esque on OS X, but not this. This has attention to detail that floats my boat, as well as being so useful.
Ack! Browser decisions are so hard these days...
Not Eurydema dominulus but rather Pyrrhocoris apterus die Gemeine or Common Feuerwanz. The creatures with three small "buttons" on their backs are the nymphs.

Not Eurydema dominulus but rather Pyrrhocoris apterus die Gemeine or Common Feuerwanz. The creatures with three small "buttons" on their backs are the nymphs. English wikipedia page for the Firebug here. It feeds on the seeds of Lime trees.
