Lygaeus analis
Lygaeus analis is a species of seed bug belonging to the family Lygaeidae, a group of true bugs known for their association with seeds and various plants. Members of this family are often referred to as seed bugs due to their feeding habits, though they may occasionally feed on other plant parts or even small insects. Like other Lygaeus species, it typically displays bright red, or orange markings combined with black, providing a warning coloration to potential predators.
