Face to face with a Firebug
Never thought he has such a tiny beak :p And big round eyes.
Still don't like them. They are creepy. But it is hard not to see them in parks, gardens, roadsides...
And they photograph well ;)

I remember those little fellows from my childhood , unfortunately I have never seen them in US maybe I wasn't so lucky ;))) Great macro shot ;)))
Maybe you don't have them in your area... hard to believe that you wouldn't have them there at all. Seems that all bugs are everywhere :p
So true but I am living here long time and the only thought about these bugs is my childhood. I will be searching for them ;)))
Cool photo! He's a pretty bug! I found this for you on Wikipedia:
The firebug, Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family Pyrrhocoridae. Easily recognizable due to its striking red and black coloration, but may be confused with the similarly coloured but unrelated Corizus hyoscyami (cinnamon bug, squash bug) (see comparison).[1] Pyrrhocoris apterus is distributed throughout the Palaearctic from the Atlantic coast of Europe to northwest China. It has also been reported from the USA, Central America and India.[2] It has been reported as recently expanding its distribution northwards into mainland UK.
Yep... he is everywhere :p
