Salt Lake City and other parts of Utah are absolutely carpeted with these little guys during some parts of the year. They never completely disappear, even in the dead of winter.

I've always found them comical, somehow. It's something to do with how they startle and run around when you get near - like to take a picture of them.

Firebugs On Tree, Milichovsky Les, Haje, Prague, CZ, 2007 by jonsearlesphoto

These are Pyrrhocoris Apterus....or just uh....Firebugs, one of the most common species of insect in Central Bohemia. These ones are uhhhh....doin stuff. :-) :-) :-) Bugs don't count, though (do they?), so if Flickr makes a stink about this it would be very amusing. :-) If they throw me off for this one I'm not sure if I'll care. I took this in Milichovsky Les in Haje, Prague.
