Here’s a quick drawing of a Boxedler bug (Boisea trivittata) since my internet is sucking right now.

Pair of mating box elder bugs on cement. They are facing away from each other. They are mostly black but with orange stripes around the outer edge of the wings. There are also two orange stripes on the wings.

Have you seen this bug? We’ll give you a hint: they are most likely to be on or near their preferred food source, box elder trees. 🪲🌳 Visit the UC IPM blog for more information about this insect and common lookalikes: ucanr.edu/blog/pests-u...

A small black bug with red markings on a dark green plant stalk, with text that says "What's this bug?" Two photos of insects, one of three life stages of black and red boxelder bugs and one of red boxelder bug eggs on a leaf. Text next to the photos says "Boxelder bug! These insects feed mainly on box elder trees and don’t generally cause significant damage to plants. They can be a nuisance in fall and winter when they seek shelter in or around buildings. To keep them out, seal up cracks and other entry points around windows and doors. Swipe to see lookalike insects!" Text that says "Boxelder bug lookalikes" above two photos of insects with text next to each photo. The first photo is of a medium-sized black bug with orange markings around the edge of its back on a green plant stem, next to text that says "squash bugs feed con cucurbits like squash, pumpkins, and melons. Their feeding can cause plants to wilt and fruit to rot." The second photo is of two black insects with bright orange markings on a brown plant stem, next to text that says "milkweed bugs mainly eat milkweed plants." Text at the bottom says "see more lookalikes on our blog!"
