Firebug with seed of linden tree, photo taken in historic graveyard in Braunschweig, Germany
Medieval firebugs are around these days. Prepare a stake.
Long time exposure at a fireshow on a medieval fair.
On black it burns even better.
The smaller ones are no more than 4 millimeters long. I was sitting outside reading the newspaper when I noticed the smaller ones running back and forth. They feed on the lime tree seeds.

Thanks to Heather Walls & Kate Easton for the photos.
In french, this bug is commonly called "gendarme" because of the red and black uniform of the gendarmes centuries ago.
The English name 'firebug" suits this insect well too!
I had a hard time taking a picture of it as is was constantly moving.
