Sap-drinking, seed-eating true bugs within the hemipteran insect order are what box elder bugs are. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) may be considered garden and household pests because of congregating in large groups over exterior and interior walls even though they control box elder (Acer negundo) aggression by preying upon the tree in question's liquids and seeds.
Arachnids, birds, insects, and mammals are predators that eat the box elder bug. The insect in question (Boisea trivittata) includes among body coloration the color orange, which cautions potential predators of unpleasant-smelling and unpleasant-tasting predations. Avian predators may range from chickens and ducks to guinea hens while praying mantises number among insect predators and chipmunks, mice, and rats among natural mammalian enemies.
Eggs and wintering shelters are where box elder bugs come from. The insects in question (Boisea trivittata) hatch from eggs into nymphs and then adults in terms of life cycles and show up in spring if they are adults and survive the winter.
Around and in vegetation during nice weather and inside human, terrestrial or vegetative shelters during cold weather are places where box elder bugs (Boisea trivittata) live. The insects in question enjoy feeding upon plant sap, particularly of ash (Fraxinus) and maple (Acer) tree family members, around which they frequently can be found.
No, box elder bugs do not bite or sting.
Specifically, box elder bugs (Boisea trivittata) have piercing-sucking mouthparts. They may puncture the skin. The result will be a slight irritation in susceptible humans. But it will not constitute a bite or sting since the bug has neither chewing nor stinging mouthparts
Where do box elder bugs come from????????
That is one for God to decide.
no

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.
The adults are about 12½ mm (½ in) long.

The Boxelder bug is of the Hemiptera-Heteroptera Order. Class-Insecta. Family-Rhopalidae.
Plant body parts are the prey of the box elder bug (Boisea trivittata).Specifically, box elder bugs have piercing-sucking mouthparts. This kind of mouth enables the box elder bug to feed on soft plant tissue such as flowers and leaves. They also can feed on twigs if the latter are young. Additionally, they prefer these plant body parts to be on ash, boxelder (Acer negundo) and maple (Acer spp) trees.
No, box elder bugs do not have red blood. They nevertheless have liquids which circulate internally and which may be released under stress and with death.
it would depend on the problem it's having
Red as eggs and nymphs and dark black/brown and red as adults are the colors of the box elder bug.Specifically, the box elder bug (Boisea trivittata) goes through incomplete metamorphosis. This means that it completes three development stages. Red predominates as the color throughout the egg, nymph and adult stages.
