Small Milkweed Bug

Oh never mind Ashish posted the 411 at the top :) - i'm safe from Boxelder bugs

Do they consider the Milkweed bug to be a pest ? what sort of damage does it do? Thank you for the comparison!

@ WilliamCrain Have a look here.. http://pestcontrolcanada.com/INSECTS/box%20elder%20and%20milk%20weed%20bug.jpg

Is there a Box Elder Bug to compare this Milkweed bug to? Karen, you have to raise your hand ~ it's obvious you've slipped again and again and again :)

Hi, my name is Karen & I'm a noaholic!

It's easily addicting! I've been on for 3 months now and have over 500 spottings. I don't think I've gone a whole day without logging in :)

Wow, learn (100) something(s) new on Project Noah every day!

You are welcome Courtney! We have lots of these guys here - I love their little 'hearts'!

Not a boxelder but a small milkweed bug! They do look very similar! :)

Cool - thanks Karen.

Good picture. :) Is it a boxelder bug?
