Firebugs when in clusters

I once told you that I like Pyrrhocoris apterus very much. ![IMG_20211006_193535.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23x1L4bwpkBNEr98c8MVpjWVCe3FFuAvntDMTDpj3MM64ZuKeQ1kEkrucKDs5vGNEA935.jpg) **Mostly because firebugs are harmless and do no harm to anyone.** ![IMG_20211006_193410.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23xyhgKGQSskzfKDMKfW5v9t7WqUvjnRtV9qn9Vb2gZXXjFjVeFBbSKGiBXX1iWCxmhan.jpg) They don't attack people and don't bite, no matter what. ![IMG_20211006_193308.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/242NoYXzThEf4AKbsTrt1rsVYgygisbUF2rDYRPy1tCLJihkqoC6Eeqh3v6HFRHDUsdFi.jpg) Unlike some "gentle" and beautiful insects that we all know very well, as I told you recently. ![IMG_20211006_193249.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23yToVsxYyDNadfhLkjZaBFmoHb9dX7nD7BWTATPoyg3UjMNyovhNet9fT8aC2eVgB4SH.jpg) Still, the sight of such a gathering of animals in one place, whatever they are, seems threatening. ![IMG_20211006_193351.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/242Y7mdSTN67gzjSiCWeTSZudXArvcVz9TmJAEzE4uGN119awGrdMQkdTmjB1jpaymr7s.jpg) It didn't seem that way to me before. ![IMG_20211006_193127.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23u6Hwq6eiwzozdtKnvdfZsDBJYdzoqWXfBpbZfwgFHazkkABkcV9xJWKHDa1m5oaajec.jpg) I've photographed firebug clusters before and I've never seen them as a threat. ![IMG_20211006_193439.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23xL2oDnYe8xDBVPBD1JYMaDyakUAzmCvLmAyuVSTrkH9G31QjvrgqCpsKbc3Lwf3aPUg.jpg) But this year, with all its climatic features, with all the insect invasions, and with all the new insect species I've seen, the feeling is different. ![IMG_20211006_193604.jpg](https://files.peakd.com/file/peakd-hive/soulsdetour/23ynb7RNvSoja2MpMobcUfDvqJnjHGFnmBBKKUHF8HaBcnBdxcdPwwJzCV2AeZnJkwD47.jpg)
