True BugsAny clue?
Hi Bugman!
In desperate need of your assistance. I’ve looked at every image on your site without any luck in identifying these bugs. Attached are a couple of pics. They are located in our backyard in Austin, TX (everywhere you look you see them crawling around. They seem to be located mostly in small piles of dead leaves and on our wooden fence). Although the two pics look a bit different, I think the “blacker” one is just older because they all “hang out” and run around together. When they are first born, they are all grouped together and start out as a bright red-orange and finally begin mostly black. I also haven’t seen them fly. I want to guess their size to be 1⁄4” to 1⁄2”. They seem pretty harmless, but my daughter won’t go outside because they freak her out. Not sure if this is enough information, but I will provide any necessary info, if at all possible. Any ideas or help would be greatly appreciated!

Hi Yvette,
You probably only checked out the images on our homepage. If you go to the two True Bug pages by clicking the links in the alphabatized list on the left side of the www.whatsthatbug.com homepage, you will find lots of great photos and information on Boxelder Bugs. Your photos are fantastic.
