it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them." The firebug, or Pyrrhocoris apterus, is a common insect of the family
Pyrrhocoridae. This is a red and black coloured beautiful insect that lives in groups.

La previtelogenesis en otros hemipteros tambien llega a ser de corta duracion, por ejemplo en Triatoma protracta (Uhler, 1894) (Triatominae) esta fase dura entre uno y dos dias (Mundall y Engelmann 1977) y en Pyrrhocoris apterus (Linnaeus, 1758) (
Pyrrhocoridae) dura un dia (Socha et al.

Moreover, Shoonhoven and Henstra [21] have provided further evidence that the twelve sensilla basiconica on the tip of the labium of Dysdercus (
Pyrrhocoridae) are contact chemoreceptive and--in addition to their apparent role in sampling the substrate for food--they could also function as thermohygroreceptives because the bugs imbibe liquid food.
