box elder bug love
May 5, 2010
Not sure if you are interested in another one,but here is a picture of mating box elder bugs from our local playground. My 3 year old wanted to know why they had 2 heads, which evolved into a very interesting conversation….

Hi Sara,
Thanks so much for sending us your photo of mating Eastern Boxelder Bugs, Boisea trivittata. We are happy to post it.
Are these bugs considered a “Lovebug”? They look so much like Florida Lovebugs! But fit the description better because of their red lines and you see so many lovingly! stuck together.
Love Bugs are Flies and Boxelder Bugs are True Bugs. They are not related.
