True Bugswhat’s this bug!
hi, i have never seen this bug until about 5 years ago. i live in western pennsylvania. when i see these bugs there is not just one but many. the first time i noticed them was when there were so many covering the tire of my daughter’s car that the wheel looked red in color. the immature ones are brighter red and the older and bigger they get, the darker the red becomes and the black markings appear. right now they are crawling up the big tree in my yard and are in my flower bed. do they eat plants and will they destroy them? thanks for the input!

Hi Marsha,
Armed with the information that these are Boxelder Bugs, you should be able to find volumes of information online regarding them. Our own site has countless letters and photos, and we always keep one on our homepage which you must have missed. You will also probably find numerous ads on our site claiming to be able to rid you of these remarkably fertile insects.
