It is JANUARY. Would someone, anyone care to explain to me why and HOW I have Box Elder bugs still alive (And in disturbing numbers) in my house in the middle of winter??? We are infested with them in the summer, but I have never had this happen before, and it is freaking me out.
ICK.

We have had a few and mosquitoes too! They fly a bit slower and you can at least catch them!

Dang global warming (though my mom tells me that it was a new ice age they worried about when she was a kid- no she’s not THAT old). Maybe blame it on El Nino?

It seems to be going on a lot in the valley!
SHUDDER.
Even though box elder bugs are “Harmless” I still totally hate them.
They are creepy.
(It’s lucky you don’t know what they are, She Likes Purple. OH, for ignorant bliss!!!)
