This looks like group ***. The mild winter did not deplete their population. Will be an army once they eclose. I think they are Pyrrhocoris apterus, Gemeine Feuerwanzen in German, Firebug in English.
Phytophageous real bugs are wandering around a lot while mating;
however, I am not sure if these "firebugs" belong to Pyrrhocoridae (Dysdercus cingulatus-Group) ? NO, they do not!
