When you get your daughter a dollhouse and she accidentally (I think...) set it on fire, all you can do is sit back sip your coffee, and watch it burn....

Another fairly common species, this one was taken on the roof terrace after checking the moth trap one very warm morning. Moth trapping wasn't very successful over the days we put one out but it did attract quite a few other insects as well as the moths.
Best viewed very large.

Pyrrhocoris apterus
The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration, but may be confused with the similarly coloured though unrelated Corizus hyoscyami (cinnamon bug, squash bug) (see comparison). Pyrrhocoris apterus 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.

Black Spider: Based it off his original purple and orangish yellow look.
Firefly: My attempt at something resembling Knightfall Gar. Not the best, but I like it.
Ratcatcher: Pretty simple figure, not much to say.
Firebug: Pretty much my own take, Ant-Man helmet was modified with clay and paint.
Let me know what you guys think.
I couldn't resist a shot of this interesting insect in the garden. I've never seen them before but here there are so many. The markings remind me of an African mask. It could be better focused but I find photographing insects quite challenging.

Pyrrhocoridae is a family of insects with more than 300 species world-wide. Many are red coloured and are known as red bugs and some species are called cotton stainers because their feeding activities leave an indelible yellow-brownish stain on cotton crops. A common species in parts of Europe is the firebug, and its genus name Pyrrhocoris and the family name are derived from the Greek roots for f... Wikipedia
Leaving the house yesterday I found this little fellow on my front door...I took some pictures and due to the glass of my front door it looked a bit surrealistic...

I was very excited to day to spot four Firebugs - Pyrrhocoris apterus - on a walk near Hollesley in Suffolk! They were very fast and sadly this is the best shot I managed!
The Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) is a common European bug on the northernmost edge of its range in Britain. It is the sole member of its family to occur here.
Historically Firebugs are very rare and known only from a single Devon population, but many other colonies have been recently reported from Surrey, Sussex, Essex, Suffolk, Kent and Bedfordshire, most of which are probably the result of accidental introductions. The appearance of individuals capable of flight may allow the species to spread here much more effectively in the future.
Usually associated with Tree Mallow and lime trees, feeding on the fruits. It forms dense and conspicuous aggregations in the spring, prior to mating.
Firebugs can't fly. They pose no danger to humans. They only eat seeds, so they won't damage your garden.
