The Firebug - An Insect That Is Easy to Recognize
The firebug is an extremely common insect and is easy to recognize by its striking red and black coloration. Although this insect looks similar to Corizus hyoscyami, it is a completely different species. Listed below are a few facts about this insect. The Pyrrhocoris apterus is the most common firebug found in the United States.
Firebugs are small and can grow to be up to 12 millimeters in length. They feed on plant seeds and prefer linden trees. They have a proboscis that pierces the seed and sucks up its juice. Occasionally, Firebugs will also eat dead insects and carrion.
Firebugs have recently expanded their range worldwide, making them a more common pest than they were before 1900. Their range expansion in new countries may have something to do with the warming climate and the human-aided introduction of plant materials. However, they are still rare in many areas, and the increased number of firebug populations in the past few years raises questions about their ability to colonize new lands.
Having a browser with Firebug installed is a great way to experiment with the code on your site. There are several ways to open the Firebug panel in Firefox. You can also access the official documentation for Firebug on the wiki. There are also several add-ons to expand the functionality of the program. Many of these provide specific information about Drupal.
