The Cinnamon Bug is a colorful species of scentless plant bug belonging to the family Rhopalidae. Despite its common name, it does not smell like cinnamon; the name is derived from its distinct brick-red and black coloration. It can be distinguished from the similar-looking Firebug by its hairy body, the red mark on the front of its head, and the complex veining on its translucent wing membranes.
This true bug feeds on a variety of plants and prefers warm, sunny habitats.

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.

El género Eurydema tiende a compartir espacios y épocas de reproduccÃon. Lo normal es encontrarse a las tres especies más abundantes sobre las misma matas de plantas. Esta son E. oleracea, E. ventralis y E. ornata, y las ninfas, se parecen mucho entre sÃ.
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.
