Joan Elizabeth, as you might have guessed from the firebug's size this is quite a huge nut. There was some railway tracks construction/renewal under way - all the old nuts were cut off by grinding (and of course I took this one home :-))

Mary Ann, a firebug. Usually they manifest themselves in huge flocks doing their typical firebugs thing (orgies? ;-)) They seem to live mostly everywhere up to 1000m elevation in the Palearctic ecozone (so not in the Americas, Africa, Australia and Antarctica) - and yes, the wikipedia article is very interesting, ;-) (the German one, the English one is a litte bit empty).

paulboo, yes, to me this photo had some futuristic connotation: civilisation broke down, bugs and weeds taking over.; 13 May, 2010 12:06
