My friend Greg was asking about the darn bugs that are all over his house. He described them to me, and I think they’re Box Elder Bugs. It took a while, but I finally found Oregon State University’s bug page again.
Those darn Box Elder Bugs spring up without fail on certain blocks in my neighborhood. I can’t walk down the street without having a couple land on me. Very often, they’re doing the bug-reproduction-mambo while they’re crawling on my leg. Ugh.
They stink when you squish them, too.
