Rhagonycha fulva
The Common Red Soldier Beetle is a bright red insect that loves to be outside in the sunshine. They are often seen on flowers, where they help pollinate plants while looking for food.
Hábitat: Grasslands
The Common Red Soldier Beetle has a vibrant orange or red body with soft, flexible wing cases and a black head and legs. Its long, slender antennae help it sense its surroundings. It is easily identified by its distinctive bright colouration and velvety appearance, unlike hard-shelled ladybugs.
