Cross

Today I got cross.  For the second day in a row I meant to go up to the butterfly reserve and failed.  Yesterday was my fault but today the buses weren't running past here, as I discovered after waiting half an hour for one.  So I took quite a lot of local shots, of which this is one, got back home and found my screen wasn't talking to my computer.  Rrrraaaarr!!

Still, as you can see, it's working now, fixed by my lovely daughter.  So I have a question for you knowledgeable people.  I found this beetle in a tiny piece of local woodland and assume is a red soldier beetle.  But it also looks like one of those beetles that eat lilies.  Are they the same thing? 

[Many thanks to Overlander and Bandparent who have identified it (below).  It's a Firebug or Cardinal Bug/Beetle]

Soon I will be adding the results of WFW25_03.  Hearts will be added tonight.  Thank you to those of you that took part.

And have a good evening  xx
