Many fire beetles sun themselves on the tree trunk

Fire beetles are known to enjoy basking in the sun to regulate their body temperature. As cold-blooded animals, they rely on external heat sources to raise their body temperature and increase their metabolic activity.

By basking in the sun, they absorb heat energy, which they need for their vital functions. Additionally, basking could also play a role in mate finding for fire beetles, as they may increase their flare signals to attract potential mates.

Passionate "phone clipper". Currently with mine Samsung Galaxy S22 Ultra. A great phone with XNUMX TB of storage. Lots of space for experiments. My favorite subjects are plants, Eat & drink, animals, Buildings and Landscapes.

Otherwise, I like to spend my time in nature and sometimes hang out on the PC, with a cozy round Civ or Star Citizen, away. A series is also often sought after on the couch in the evening.
