Author Message   Craftygardener  My Weather My Garden Posted on Saturday, August 25, 2007 - 07:27 pm EST :    These bugs are in swarms at my son in laws house ... on the trees and in between the rocks on the rock wall. I know I've seen them identified some where but can't find it. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

I have found a few sites that tell about them and passed this info on to my SIL. Here is also a photo I took of the adult bug.

I encountered this bug at a friends place near Long Point near Lake Erie. I didn't know what it was called until I saw this thread. The sheer number of the bugs was astonishing. They were all around my friend's house and in the immediate vicinity. Here are pictures taken 13 September 2007 http://uwahn.notlong.com http://www.durgan.org/Blog/Durgan.html Durgan - Ontario, Zone "5"   Mimi  Supporting Member My Weather Posted on Thursday, September 13, 2007 - 09:37 pm EST :    Yes! those most CERTAINLY are Box Elder Bugs. They will multiply like crazy. I know of from what I speak. They don;t seem to harm anything, They just crawl all over the place. Baking in the hot sun. Went I moved, they even came along!!!!!!! ( not to here) I used to get them something awful each summer. My street had a hand full of box elder trees. They live in that tree when they are not infesting everything at your home. Bet I had 10 thousand of them if I had one. SO GLAD I DO NOT ANY MORE> ! Mimi - Wisconsin, Zone "4b"
