@fairyprince7 submitted: Hello! I found this bug today crawling on my leg and I was wondering if you could ID them for me?

Found in [removed] Victoria, Australia where it's currently the first month of Autumn. Quite possibly the strangest bug I've ever seen which is why I wanna know what type they are ^^

(Please remove the [removed] part of my submission, the state and country are ok to keep)

Hello! This is two bugs mating. They're harlequin red bugs, which are true bugs in the family Pyrrhocoridae, all commonly called red bugs. Guess what! They're rainbow colored underneath :)

Yes!! Love it. Photos by lorrainecphelan
