The
box elder tree, Acer negundo, (A-ser ne-GOON-do) is actually a very
beautiful tree. It can be the centerpiece of your yard. If it's a female, it
can also attract, in very large numbers, the box elder bug - so known because of
their close association with the tree.
Box elder bugs as adults spend the winter months in protected places such as houses and other
buildings, cracks or crevices in walls, doors, under windows and around
foundations, commonly on south and west exposures. At times they come out
during winter when it's cold outside, but the sun is
shining.
In the spring, when the box elder tree buds start to open, small red
eggs are laid on leaves and crevices in the bark of
female box elder trees. The eggs later hatch into the young nymphs that are
wingless and bright red in color with some black markings. The young bugs will
usually stay on structures or low vegetation around the box elder or other host trees
until seeds are formed on the tree, which they will then start to feed on.
