This years first sighting of the firebugs, a true sign that spring is on the way. The red bugs live in a tree trunk next to the cellar door at Bergdalen, and I spotted this one as I was getting the bike out.

The work of a firebug

De vuurwants (Pyrrhocoris apterus) is een insect uit de onderorde wantsen (Heteroptera) en de familie vuurwantsen (Pyrrhocoridae).

De vuurwants is een bontgekleurde soort die een overwegend helder rode kleur heeft met een karakteristiek patroon van zwarte lichaamsdelen en vlekken en hieraan is te herkennen. De wants komt in grote delen van Europa voor en is ook in België en Nederland te vinden. De wants is voornamelijk een planteneter die soms dode of levende insecten eet. De wants kan niet vliegen en is soms massaal aan te treffen bij lindebomen en andere planten die gegeten worden.

English :

The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Firebugs generally mate in April and May. Their diet consists primarily of seeds from lime trees and mallows.

They can be seen in tandem formation when mating which can take from 12 hours up to 7 days. The long period of copulating is probably used by the males as a form of ejaculate-guarding under high competition with other males.[1]

We had a blast at my parents' house this Easter weekend. Ian got to play with fire and I went swimming in the pond the next day. I think the Christmas tree is in that brushfire somewhere.

No seriously, what did web developers DO before Firebug?

Seen in the garden of the "Memorial Museum Paschendaele 1917" in Zonnebeke.

Random stranger knows exactly what to do when a camera is pointed at him. Thank you, whoever you are.

Taken at White Noise Festival, when I was somewhere where I wasn't supposed to.
