Firebug (aggregation) - Pyrrhocoris apterus

In previous posts featuring this insect, the aggregations I've found were near the of a tree (and some of the surrounding plants) or nearby in the surrounding grasses. These Red Bugs had gathered to absorb the setting sun's heat and to search for seeds (their primary form of nutrition) and while aggregated they enjoy safety and comfort in numbers. All this is nothing new, but where urban environments and nature come together, the Common Firebug may be found in strange places. In today's post, the aggregations found here were either on or near a wooden utility pole! A while back, I noticed a similar event with a similar looking insect: the Eastern Boxelder Bug. Both insects had mistaken a piece of human construction for a tree. Looking at it from an insect's perspective, a large wooden object may very well be mistaken for tree, especially if it has similar scent cues still attached to it. A utility pole unfortunately cannot be used as a food source, but does have potential to act as a shelter from the elements or a sunning location. For the former use (as can be seen from Pictures 5 and 8), as many individuals as possible can cram into the cracks and hide away, similar to the recesses and holes of trees (similar behavior also occurs when they find their way inside a house).

Firebugs would have to rely on other creatures to expend the crevices in order to fit every Bug in the aggregation, but alas, nature is survival of the fittest. What may benefit the Firebugs more is a eusocial/colony structure whereby the younger nymphs hide away in the woody voids while the adults monitor and search for food. While not eusocial in any way, there are small inklings of such a system in the aggregations. If you look closely, your attention may be drawn more to the spotted, larger and redder adults and not the smaller nymphs that try and hide beneath them. Meanwhile, loose aggregations and single Firebugs scamper about on stone and concrete looking for a source of food and shelter. What can start as one individual in an area can quickly turn into many individuals gathering in an area thanks to potent pheromones. However, different pheromones from this insect can also cause aggregations to separate and scatter. This may be useful as a defense, but likely has more value in use for after mating (for egg dispersal) or if an aggregation grows too large and food sources are in short supply. With reduced wings to prevent flying away (in most cases) personal stuff is all the more important, and it's furthermore great that this specie can run very quickly should an aggregation need to suddenly form or disperse.

Pictures of individuals or loose aggregations were taken on June 16 and August 5, 2022 with a Google Pixel 4. Pictures of the large aggregations were taken on October 1, 2022 with a Google Pixel 4.

You

Kamu tau?

Bareng kamu, sudah cukup

Aku sering kali bersyukur karena dari sekian banyaknya kemungkinan di dunia, Tuhan beri izin supaya aku bisa kenal dengan kamu. Tuhan punya alasan kita bertemu, entah apa nanti yang ada di ujung cerita, skenario Tuhan lah yang terbaik.

Haru, dicintai oleh seseorang yang luar biasa, meskipun orang lain menganggap kamu bukanlah untukku. Tapi, untuk pertama kalinya aku merasa aman dan nyaman disisimu, semua ketakutanku hilang. Bebanku sebagai perempuan mandiri, dan penuh liku, menjadi tak terasa.

Sayang, terimakasih selalu melibatkanku dalam setiap kisah perjalananmu, terima kasih untuk segala kejujuran, apa adanya, dan keberanian untuk mengambil hati wanita sepertiku.

Apapun yang terjadi, ketulusanku tidak akan pernah bisa diganti oleh hal lain, maaf untuk segala kekurangan yang ada, maaf untuk segala keegoisan dan kekhawatiran berlebih yang aku miliki. Maaf untuk segala prasangka yang tak tebukti, kini aku berserah diri dan memberikan kepercayaanku padamu, menitipkanmu kepada Tuhan, untuk senantiasa selalu dilindungi, dan dijauhi dari hal-hal yang senantiasa membuatmu jatuh, dekatkanlah dengan orang-orang yang selalu baik dan menjauhimu dari hal-hal yang buruk.

Mari sama-sama menjadi yang terbaik, tuntun aku menjadi wanita yang teguh pendirian, kuat, tenang dan aku disisimu untuk berjuang hingga akhir.

Spots! 6U8A9336 by Daniel D'Auria Via Flickr: Imagine suddenly realizing that you have spots! A fawn’s white spots might seem to accentuate their appearance, but nothing could be farther from the truth. When they are huddled down in the underbrush, the spots help provide effective camouflage. But fawns more commonly look at their adult counterparts and they have long since lost their spots. This fawn is really just grooming itself, but its facial expression almost suggests intense surprise.

Spindle Moth Caterpillar - Yponomeuta cagnagella

Over here in Toronto, it’s looking like we’re in for a snowy Christmas weekend! It’s the perfect opportunity to get warm, comfortable and cuddle up like these little wrigglers tucked away in their houses of leaves and silk. Despite their simplicity, the structures these insects live in as larvae are very effective homes, and many residents in one leaf house helps keep things warm. If not for the pictures taking place during the warm weather, that silk could be a nice snow decoration, but I digress. Like these Caterpillars, cuddle up with your loved ones, get cozy, grab some festive snacks and enjoy a magical weekend. Unlike these Caterpillars however, if you make a mess on your silk coverings, do clean it up. These Caterpillars are so focused on eating and hiding that there’s little time to remove all the frass (insect poop) from their webbing, if at all. Maybe they don’t mind the mess, as some sources suggest they leave frass in their webbing as a deterrent so would-be predators leave them alone. Innovative as that may be, let’s not do the same this holiday. Not every smell can be covered up by evergreen trees and cookies, haha.

Pictures were taken on June 11, 2022 with a Google Pixel 4. Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays! Enjoy every moment of joy!
