Now, today it is one of the ornaments of the environment that live side by side with us, they are a large group of wild invertebrates that are predators of plants, they are a species of summer insects.
The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration, it may be confused with the similarly coloured though unrelated Corizus hyoscyami (cinnamon bug, squash bug) (see comparison). Pyrrhocoris apterus is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwest China. It has also been reported from the US, Central America, and India, and is also found in Australia.
It has been reported as recently expanding its distribution northwards into mainland UK and eastward on to the coast of the Mediterranean sea. They are frequently observed to form aggregations, especially as immature forms, containing from tens to perhaps a hundred individuals.

Hi @tinta-tertuang very interesting post, we have an amazing eco system, only thing I don't like about insects, they eat my plants. Thank you for sharing.
