Why is the box elder tree named after the box elder bug?
The box elder tree is not named after the box elder bug. The trees in question (Acer negundo) receive their name from the similarity of their white wood to that of a boxwood and of their pinnately compound foliage to that of an elder. The name-saking serves the other way around, with the insects in question (Boisea trivittata) being linked with their favorite food source.

A box elder tree disperses its seeds primarily through wind. The seeds, which are enclosed in pairs of winged samaras, are lightweight and can be carried away by breezes, allowing them to travel significant distances from the parent tree. Additionally, animals may inadvertently assist in seed dispersal by feeding on the seeds or by carrying them on their fur. This combination of wind and animal activity helps ensure the spread of box elder trees in various environments.
Average life span of a box elder tree?
Box elder trees typically live for about 60-80 years, but some can live up to 100 years under optimal conditions. Their lifespan can be affected by factors such as environmental stress, diseases, and pests. Proper care and maintenance can help prolong the life of a box elder tree.

It is simply a nuisance. http://www.entomology.cornell.edu/public/IthacaCampus/ExtOutreach/DiagnosticLab/Factsheets/Boxelder.html
How do you tell a male boxelder bug from a female?
Body parts, shape and size distinguish the female boxelder bug from the male.Specifically, reproductive parts are located on the bug in question's (Boisea trivittata) last, rear, third main body part, the abdomen. They facilitate rear-to-rear mating between the two genders. The female is slightly bigger than the male because of an abdomen that can be seen peeping out from under the bug's wings when viewed from above. The female also shows a duller orange color and a more rounded rear.
