Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus)


Above you can see a Firebug (Pyrrhocoris apterus) which I found on my way while wandering through my town.

The photo above is my contribution for the Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside. The motto inside fits to my photo as a wasp should be outside and not inside. The wasp flew into my room and crashed into one window. The wasp did look a little bit dizzy and helpless on the ground. I guess the wasp was not healthy anymore before she found my window… But as I am wasp poison allergic and as I was afraid that my cat could catch the wasp to fetch a sting, I decided to take the wasp to the outside with the help … Continue reading Weekly Photo Challenge: Inside
