After looking through our bug book and narrowing it down, we went to the internet to confirm his guess! Yes indeed, it was a Boxelder Bug!!!
Landon's Notes:
- They can fly
- They do not normally bite humans, unless scared
- You will find them in either a Boxelder or Maple Tree
- They love the sun!!
- Boxelder bugs like to eat leaves and boxelder seeds
- They hibernate in the winter
- They are harmless
- Colors are black with red trim
- They can climb fast and tickle your arm ;-)
