Best Answer

The beetles (genus Phyllophaga) are known as "june bugs" or "wood bugs" and are normally harmless. They do not have biting mandibles. Some individuals may have allergic reactions to a scrape from its mouth parts or a leg barb. The greatest harm done by these bugs is as grubs (larvae) that can damage lawns and garden roots.

No, box elder bugs do not bite humans. But the insects in question (Boisea trivittata) have piercing, sipping mouthparts which enable them to leave a feeling of being nibbled upon in those cases of box elder bugs alighting on human body parts.
