A small moment in the summer greenery — a firebug climbing slowly through light and shadow.
Its vivid red stands out against the soft green around it, turning an everyday encounter into a quiet little scene from nature.

Ein kleiner Moment im sommerlichen Grün — eine Feuerwanze auf ihrem Weg durch Licht und Schatten.
Ihr kräftiges Rot hebt sich vom weichen Hintergrund ab und macht aus einer alltäglichen Begegnung eine stille kleine Szene aus der Natur.

We seem to be finding Firebugs everywhere this year! Here's another one from our walk by the River Gipping in Ipswich this morning!
The Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) is a common European bug, which is on the northernmost edge of its range in Britain and is the sole member of its family (Pyrrhocoridae) to occur here. This very distinctive species is usually brachypterous in Britain, but macropterous adults have recently been recorded.
The Firebug is historically 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 macropterous individuals capable of flight may allow the species to spread here much more effectively in the future.
The Firebug is usually associated with Tree Mallow and lime trees, feeding on the fruits. It forms dense and conspicuous aggregations in the spring, prior to mating.
Entschuldigt bitte die Unschärfe, aber der Blick ist doch toll, nicht?
Excuse the blur, but the view is great, isn't it?
Disculpa el desenfoque, pero la vista es genial, ¿no?

The super moon turned out to be a less than optimum event but being out there with Jocelyn and
Bob for the evening made up for it. Playing with fire also made the evening spark :D....
I haven't been on here forever, and the excuses are huge, work, garden, photoshoots, tired, and those darn angry birds. I will have to get back to it and get caught up with my contacts.

Pyrrhocoris apterus in copula
L’accouplement pouvant durer très longtemps, madame a eu une petite faim. Et monsieur, qui n’entendait pas lâcher l’affaire, s’est retrouvé dans une position pour le moins inconfortable…
As the mating session could go on for quite a long time, the female got a bit peckish. And the male, who had no intention of giving up, found himself in a rather uncomfortable position, to say the least…
