Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)


Above you can see a Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) which I found on my way while wandering through my town. I like the patterns and colors of the Firebug and I guess the name fits very well to the appearance of this bug.

You see how the nature starts to flourish and at the same time you can find the first insects, that is what I like about springtime. Some things on our earth are so beautiful that you don´t need a professional camera or image editing, to show the prettiness. I think ladybugs are a great example here. They are simply beautiful on their own and it is always cool if you have them on a photo. I didn´t do anything other … Continue reading A Ladybug On A Blue Jeans
