Question
No damage, i just spotted it near it on the drive way and also in the garden.
Answer
Thank you for the information. It is Pyrrhocoris apterus, the firebug – a common true bug that lives on various trees, especially lindens. It feeds by sucking plant sap but usually does not cause any serious damage.Best regards, Milan Zúbrik
