Nice Pic, well taken.
Interesting looking bugs, do they cause any damage?

I am not sure. They haven't been around long enough to tell. They must do some damage. They eat.

It used to be the Love Bugs that invaded us twice a year, but something has changed and now this Eastern Boxelder Bug has replaced them in my yard. There are hundreds of them.

Thanks Gregory. I wouldn't wish them on anyone. In some places they are like a blanket.

Thank you Merry. They are almost gone and the "Love Bugs" have taken their place for now. They are both a nuisance.
