What a gorgeous bug. Extremely photogenic! I've found a nice article on them from Utah state,

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.
