Murgantia histrionica goes by a few common names ; derived mostly from the variegated color pattern and irregular markings on its back, such as "Calico Back", "Calico Bug", "Fire Bug", and more commonly, the "Harlequin Bug". Harlequin bugs are native to Mexico and Central America, and are an invasive species in North America, having been first detected in Texas in 1864. They will suck the sap of cruciferous plants, causing the plants to wilt and die :(

I think this could be considered an "Action" shot.

Innovative Flying Trapeze From Singapore -

Clad in collared red leotard, complete with 3 black buttons, the juvenile is all ready. Pitching on a Sea Hibiscus plant, he grabs hold of the adults as they swing perilously in the air. Bravo! A high-flying aerial show without any safety harness, I clapped my hands and watched in suspense.

A sure sign of spring. The firebugs are out and running again.

In french, we name these bugs "gendarmes", literally cops :)

These two ones are having a bit of fun :)
