Talk:Pyrrhocoris apterus

Requested move 12 October 2015[edit]

The following is a closed discussion of a requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a move review. No further edits should be made to this section.

The result of the move request was: moved. And move Firebug (disambiguation) to the base location. Redirects don't need moving. Michael Goodyear, if you want to move a page to one that already exists (even as a redirect) you need an admin – in future you can just contact one dircetly or leave a request at WP:RMTR.

Firebug → Pyrrhocoris apterus
Firebug (Pyrrhocoris) → Firebug (insect)

– I attempted to move this page from the ambiguous vernacular name to the unambiguous scientific name but was blocked by a redirect. I then attempted to temporarily move the redirect from Pyrrhocoris apterus to Firebug (Pyrrhocoris), but of course that then created a new redirect so I was no further ahead. Is there a workaround?

Support "Firebug" should be replaced by the disambiguation page, as arsonist is highly likely, and there's a popular browser extension called Firebug as well -- 70.51.44.60 (talk) 15:49, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Support the insect isn't the primary topic of "firebug". Plantdrew (talk) 22:00, 13 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Etymology of "Firebug"[edit]

Please would someone knowledgeable add to the article the reason that this creature is called a "Firebug" ? Darkman101 (talk) 12:19, 6 December 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Nymphs, not larvae[edit]

The word larva is used incorrectly. Hemiptera are hemimetabolous, do not undergo complete metamorphosis, therefore the juveniles are called nymphs, instead of larvae. --Polinizador (talk) 20:32, 25 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
