The night is gone, party is over and they just wont stop!
Happy Firebugs in a park.

I never liked them. I still don't. But they are very photogenic creatures with those pattern and vivid colour.

Are there any natural predators for those? They seem to be everywhere in spring and summer in quite large amounts...

      What a gorgeous bug. Extremely photogenic! I've found a nice article on them from Utah state,
      https://digitalcommons.usu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir=1&article=1945&context=extension_curall

      In Europe it cites a few predators. They are actually from Europe and therefore have no common enemy in the USA... but no matter where you're from there's not much you can do beside drown them lol! If you lived in the US I'd say to document what they eat... I've never seen em here in Texas personally. They almost look like ladybugs. Dyou know why they're called 'Firebugs' ?

        Maybe because of their fiery colour? Or maybe their bite burns ;)
        I actually forgot their Polish name... They were just always creepy for me since I could see them in dark woods and cemeteries... yuk!

          LOL what an amazing reason to not like them :) Our mythology guides so much!
          We have Fire-ants in Texas and let me tell you that their bite BURNS bad and leaves scars.

                    Hi 5!
                    You need more Steem Power to have more bandwidth. Or wait a bit to recover some.

                                Photos, of course, beautiful! But I also never liked these beetles! They remind me of cockroaches. The difference in color. I need to read about them . :-)
