The wingless nuthatch is one of the most commonly associated reds. The bug is common in Poland. It is about 1.5 cm long and has a characteristic red and black pattern on its abdomen. It also has long, black antennae and three-segmented, dark legs, proportional to the size of the rest of the body. It is colloquially called the tramman because during copulation two individuals touch each other with their abdomens and look like connected tram wagons. Although it has wings, which belies the insect’s name, they are poorly developed and the wingless blacksmith does not have the ability to fly.
