Insects on Christmas Eve...
Oh, it's a...
Heteroptera > Lygaeidae > Kleidocerys resedae (K. resedae) - Birch Catkin Bug [A ground bug]
Here's Why:- Dark-tipped antennaes
- Correct number of antennal segments
- Dark-tipped cuneus
- White colourations around sides of head and scutellum

Take care,
Jason
