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.

And so Dani cries over HWU has ended (but will it ever really?). *sigh* I will always adore the app and the love of writing I developed because of Thomas Hunt. I know I don't need the app to keep Thomas alive, but it was nice knowing it was there if I ever wanted it. (Clearly I wrote this when I actually thought the app was leaving 🤷‍♀️)

I can't thank those of you who support Thomas and Alex's story enough. I love all the pairings I write for, but these two will always have a special place in my heart. I honestly believe writing for them saved my life, and for that I will always be grateful to them and to you for keeping up with their story and their adventures. I hope to keep writing them whether in the HWU universe or RCD or even another AU I've yet to explore.

Thank you again to everyone who has ever read, liked, reblogged, and/or commented on my work! Special shoutouts to @lilyoffandoms and @trappedinfandoms for being with me since basically day one! And @theicestarme @peonyblossom and @quixoticdreamer16 for joining me more recently, but always being the most lovely and supportive especially during this Farewell week. The kind words and lovely thoughts you five have left on the things I've posted have truly meant the world to me. I am forever grateful to you!

Complete masterlist below the cut. I'm still waiting on one art piece and a few fics I still hope to complete.

When: 5th September, late Where: Obsidian City Who: @walledupward

One drink after work had turned into several. Tequila shots mainly, and why shouldn’t she, when she had the next two whole days off, a rarity. Orlaith could sleep off her hangover tomorrow, for as long as she liked. If she didn’t want to get out of bed, she didn’t have to. When was the last time she had done that? She couldn’t recall. Usually she got a single day off, which required her to make use of it, to get all the chores and odds and ends she had done. Two meant one day for sleeping, and another to do that.

Orlaith stepped off the train when it pulled into the nearest stop to Treaty Towers, grateful to have arrived because the lull of the train and the tequilas had been making her feel sleepy. She’d rather not fall asleep on the train and end up god knew where. Pausing on the platform, she pulled out a joint from a rusty metal tin she’d taken out of her pocket, rather than her vape. She preferred it when she’d been drinking.

It was because she paused Orlaith saw him— he must have got off the train too, from a carriage further down. When the flicker of flame from her lighter had ignited the joint between her lips, she looked up and there he was, hard to miss on the relatively quiet platform. It was usually more crammed, but as the night dwindled, so did the crowds. She inhaled first before speaking, exhaling the smoke with her words as she called softly into the night. “You know, you really helped me out at work today. It’s good I ran into you, because I owe you thanks.”

After leaving his boyfriend, Louis is a little sore emotionally and is ready for a fresh start in a new city. When a coworker tells him about a couple friends looking for a new flatmate, he decides to go for it. Little does he know, that one of his new flatmates is the gorgeous, captivating guy he met at a party a few weeks ago. A New Girl/Grey’s Anatomy/Relief Next To Me inspired AU.

Harry bit his lip. “Um, I didn’t mention us meeting to Niall, and now that you’re here–”

“Pretend we just met?” Louis finished.

“Yeah,” Harry gave him a half-hearted smile. “If we’re going to be flatmates, it’s probably best to… just forget it, I guess? Have a ‘no dating flatmates’ rule?”

“Yeah,” Louis echoed. “I mean, you seem great, but–”

“It would get so messy–”

“Exactly,” Louis pointed at him in agreement. “Just friends?”

“Absolutely.”

“Great.”

Louis sighed in relief. At least that was settled. They were both in agreement: Friends only. Piece of cake.

Happiest of birthdays to the wonderful @lilyoffandoms!

I hope you have the most lovely and amazing day. You are so talented, kind, generous, and all around incredible. I am so grateful to have you in my life. Thank you for being you! 💖💖💖

Here is a lovely portrait of your beautiful couple by the talented @hydn-jpg. I hope you enjoy it !

Tyril is having a hard time focusing on his text with Maiele staring adoringly. hehe

He exhaled a sigh through his nose, refusing to look away from the manuscript in his hands.

Maiele smiled sweetly, resting his chin in his palm as he leaned forward with his elbow propped on the table. He adored watching Tyril read—the subtle pull on his features when knowledge was particularly inspiring, the way his eyes widened, letting the dim lights of the library twinkle in his eyes.

Tyril's gaze flickered up, just for a moment. He attempted to avert his eyes quickly, but he had still caught Maiele's alluring attention. Focusing on the text was nearly impossible for the elf now. After a series of growing and unrelenting frustrated sighs, Tyril finally turned back to Maiele, a stern look on his face.

"Can I help you?" Maiele questioned, his yellow eyes glowing with admiration.

"You need to stop," Tyril grumbled.

"Stop what?"

"You know!"

"If I knew what you were talking about, I would not have asked the question."

"You're being distracting."

"I haven't said a word since I sat down," Maiele stated proudly, his brow rising. "Actually, you know you're impressed by that!"

"That fact does not alter my previous statement," Tyril insisted, his gaze falling to Maile's all too kissable lips—too close to focus and yet, still too far away. He drifted closer to Maiele, forgetting himself. The book in his hands fell from his grasp, pulling him from the trance that had overtaken him. "See what I mean?"

"Oh, don't worry. I see what you need."

"Good." Tyril attempted to recompose himself, clearing his throat. He reached to gather the book but was blocked by Maiele's hand, holding it to the table. "What are you doing?"

Maiele's hands moved to cup Tyril's jaw, drawing him closer. "That's not what you need—" His lips brushed softly over Tyrils, kissing him lightly, but leaving him absolutely breathless.

when: 13th August where: changeling nightclub, obsidian city who: @eliasvelari

Dancing was a poor substitution for the thrill of aerial silk, to be high in the air above an awestruck crowd who’ve just watched you successfully perform a perfect Kamikazi, but it was the closest thing Hilda had now. Just— on the ground, no acrobatics, and more anonymous. If she downed enough vodka shots, the two blurred closer together.

Another of which she needed, now she thought about it, after the sixth time being ‘accidentally’ danced with. Hilda pushed her way, elbows pointed viciously outwards, to the bar. Of course, she wasn’t going to buy her own drinks, not when she needed every penny she had for the ethereum that kept her sane. So far she’d not needed to turn to the synthetic stuff she’d seen kill people when she was homeless. She’d not touch the stuff.

Turning so her back was against the bar, she surveyed the crowd. A Saturday night meant it was busy, perhaps a hardship for some, but Hilda didn’t much care who bought her a drink. As long as they didn’t know that she might even get a few out of it. Spotting someone, she pointed, and then beckoned them over. “I’ll give you three goes to guess what you’re missing right now.”
