I went to a little store at a campground not too too far from

The Ranch to buy a lottery ticket. When I returned to the
car I spotted this little bug on the door. I had never seen
a bug like this before. Pretty interesting
pattern going on there.

Turns out it is a European Firebug, also known as

Pyrrhocoris apterus. They are harmless to humans
and like to hang out in large groups so this guy
is probably looking for the party.
He was not real shy.
