Females gather in swarms in fall, looking for warmer places to overwinter&mdash;like houses. They feed on a variety of plants, not just box elders, and can cause cosmetic damage on fruits. Eggs are hidden in crevices in the spring. Box elder bugs have simple or incomplete metamorphosis, so the young are born looking similar to the adults.","thumbnail_url":"https:\/\/uwm.edu\/field-station\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/380\/2007\/09\/boxelder-1.jpg"}
