Quick sketch at a warm sunny day in October. Found this bug in a biotope by Bahnstadt-Heidelberg

The firebugs love the malva sylvestris.

In the evening they are with many.

Eating?

Looking for a place to spend the night?

Or perhaps playing hide and seek?

 

It's always a challenge to get 2 pair of eyes in focus in one shot.

 

So had these for a while now and I wanted to show them to you guys that's it

Nobody ever carries a fire extinguisher.

The motorist was trying to get the cigarette lighter to work.

So, like an idiot, I walk up to the drivers side window because i hear the the ignition whirring like someone is trying to start the car. You know that sound whera-whera -whera

and I thought I saw someone behind the wheel. A cop comes running down the street

screaming at me "Are you crazy?,get away from that car". I said don't worry its a Ford,

They don't catch fire..They're known for exploding!

Fire bug trying it's best to roll home a fruit from the Small-leaved Linden.

I went to the comic book store yesterday and picked up some cool comics, Future State: The Flash 2nd & last issue, Future State: Nightwing, & the first 3 issues of Future State: The Next Batman. I'm really excited that my local comic book store has a sale for $1.50 for every new comic on the rack through Feb. 12th-Feb. 14th. I also got LEGO 71718 NINJAGO Wu's Battle Dragon which I'll probably be showcasing my dresser again after adding the dragon, anyways let's get to it,...

Firebug, November 2007.

 

Dear Flickr friends, some of you were asking... Yes, this is a real animal! It is a firebug ("Feuerwanze" in German).

Firebugs don't do quickies.

Mating can take from 12 hours up to 7 days!

In love et très attachés l'un à l'autre.

 

Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus 1758) = Cimex apterus Linnaeus, 1758, le pyrrhocore aptère ou cherche-midi, gendarme, gendarme suisse, soldat, suisse.

The firebug is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration.

 

Firebugs generally mate in April and May. Their diet consists primarily of seeds from lime trees and mallows. They can often be found in groups near the base of lime tree trunks, on the sunny side.

Die Gemeine Feuerwanze (Pyrrhocoris apterus) ist in unseren Breiten häufig anzutreffen. Diese optisch auffälligen Schädlinge leben meist in größeren Gruppen dicht an dicht nebeneinander und aufeinander. Besonders faszinierend fand ich schon seit Kindertagen, wenn zwei Exemplare mit den Hinterteilen aneinander gekettet waren, was nichts anderes als der Sexualakt ist, wie ich lernte. Und wenn das alle scheinbar gleichzeitig machen, dürfte das dann so etwas wie Gruppensex sein. Da sie keine erkennbaren Schäden in meinem Garten verursachen (sie ernähren sich von ölhältigen Samen) sehe ich keinen Grund, um gegen sie vorzugehen.

 

The common firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) is frequently found in our latitudes. These visually striking pests usually live in larger groups close together and on top of each other. I have found it particularly fascinating since childhood when two specimens were chained together with their hind parts, which is nothing other than the sexual act, as I learned. And when they all seem to do it at the same time, it must then be something like group sex. Since they don't cause any noticeable damage to my garden (they feed on oily seeds) I don't see any reason to take action against them.

View On Black <-這邊畫質比較好

 

中部的賞螢聖地 - 東勢林場, 雖然這算是個相當人工復育出來的點, 不過由於園方相當有心, 所以雖然是人工整理出來的螢火蟲繁殖區, 不過整個環境還算營造的有野味, 缺點就是遊客太多了..... ^^"

看昨日的量應該是還沒到達最大值, 不過明後天要下雨了, 一場雨過後三五天理應有機會爆大量! 不過如果是對拍照來說, 現在五六萬隻的量應該已經相當足夠了, 真正達到二三十萬隻的極大量時, 可能肉眼觀看的震撼度會高一點, 對拍照的話, 差別應該不大~ ^^

Stay inside and wait for rain,

Wait for the clouds to come again.

 

I went exploring today. I've been wanting to go to this abandoned house for a long time and I figured that today was as good as any and I cycled (30km round trip!) just to check it out. At first I was worried that I would get yelled at or possibly even fall through the floor but those fears were dropped as soon as I realized that entire ceiling was moving and filled with bats!!! Needless to say I didn't stay in there as long as I had hoped but I did have fun in my short time there.

 

The building is from the gold-rush era that swept through the Rocky Mountains. There is a historic ghost town literally 200 metres behind this house but it was too busy to try and shoot photos in. I wish I knew more about the history behind this house but I suppose just being inside is the best I can get.

 

The post-processing was inspired by forest fires which usually taunt and tarnish the mountains here, but thankfully have been relatively silent.

  

Posting the rest of the summer pictures.

Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) " la punaise " or "gendarme".. Argentat, Dordogne, France

Stockton, CA

LL-828 Wildgoose is a corvette designed for patrol and response within a star system. The ship carries a crew of five and can launch four small starfighters (affectionately nicknamed 'Eggs' by their pilots). In addition the nose of the corvette detaches to serve as a shuttle and escape ship.

 

BUILDER'S NOTES

My largest MOC to date, sitting alongside LL-826 Dragonfly and LL-827 Firebug. The ship is around 60 studs long with a fully detailed interior. Built over the last three months. More photos to follow!

Firebugs on the head of a Pan statue

you know the problem with taking a camera with you to the beach when you go for a evening walk ? you end up standing in the one spot taking photos and not getting any exercise done

So I did a well deserved edit on the Firefly Figure I got, I edited his legs to have more design, I gave him sone nice wings (even though the variant he's based off doesn't have any, I felt he looked plain without them), and I edited his head, I gave him a head similar to his face revealed on The Batman cartoon, but with some minor burn marks, combining him with his comic/usual look. I really live this edit on him.

Get ready for the "Easter Egg Race" !!! ..... much better Large On Black

 

Firebugs / Feuerwanzen (Pyrrhocoridae)

Firebug

Pyrrhocoris apterus (nymphs) these come together for warmth in October and survive the winter because if they are fully formed few succeed.

thanks for the visits and comments.

Escarabajo zapatero.

Pyrrhocoris apterus (ninfas) Estos se juntan para tener calor en octubre y sobrevivir al invierno ya que si no estan completamente formados pocos lo consiguen.

Gracias por las visitas y comentarios.
