Boxelder Beetle

Boxelder bugs can occur in large numbers during spring, primarily on boxelder trees but also on other maple trees as well as oak trees. Adults and larvae take sap from seeds, flowers, and leaves but cause little damage. In the fall they congregate on the sunny side of the buildings; they sometimes enter homes to overwinter.
