In the depths of the Leicestershire countryside, a Box Bug, Gonocerus acuteangulatus, attempts to bask in the weak watery sunshire.
You're a long way from home boyo.

No wonder I have my current job, where a goodly part of it is Looking At Bugs (in the colloquial sense, I actually don't spend too much time looking at Hemiptera)

(Insisting on only using “bug” for Hemiptera probably bothers me more than anyone else but if you’re going to be racist about lady beetles you still need to use the word “lady” in the common name)

I absolutely thought that ladybugs were hemiptera. I'll try to do better from now on

As I've been know to confuse Firebugs & Cinnamon Bugs I'm reassured that Linnaeus who called them Cimex apterus & hyoscyami (now Pyrrhocoris apterus & Corizus hyoscyami) says 'Simillimus' in his Systema naturae (text and (my 😬) translation in ALT). Both from West #Suffolk 2026.
#Hemiptera #TrueBugs
Photos of a Firebug (left) and Cinnamon Bug (right) above a text. In his Systema naturae on page 447 under Cimex Linnaeus describes no. 55 'apterus': C. oblongus rubro nigroque varius, elytris rubris punctis duobus nigris. Habitat in Malva sylvestri Germaniæ. P. Forsskål. Simillimus C. Hyoscyami. Corpus nigrum sed Thorax undique cinctus margine rubro. Pectus fasciis rubris. Anus fascia rubra. Elytra sauguiuea apice nigricantia; in singuli elytri medio puctum majusculum, atrum, & punctum minimum ad elytri basin. Alæ plane nallæ. C[imex] oblong, variegated with red and black, the elytra are red, each bearing two black spots. Found on Common Mallow in Germany. P. Forsskål. Very similar to C. hyoscyami. The body is black, but the thorax is bordered all around with red. The breast has red bands. The tip of the abdomen bears a red band. The elytra are blood-red becoming blackish at the tips; in the middle of each elytron is a fairly large, jet-black spot, and a very small dot near the base. Wings are entirely absent.

Macro of a harlequin bug (Murgantia histrionica) perched on a smooth white surface, photographed on October 27, 2026, onboard the sailing vessel Aeolian. Viewed in a profile perspective facing left, the insect features a dark metallic blue-black body heavily patterned with bright orange and cream markings. The upper wing covers display broad orange bands, while the side of the abdomen shows a row of alternating white and orange spots against the dark base. Its long black antennae extend forward, and its slender black legs anchor to the white surface against a solid black background bokeh.
