Boisea trivittata

Extensioneers have been receiving reports of fall home invaders trickly into Ohio homes. However, predicted weather conditions could turn that trickle into a flood, particularly in the southwest part of the state.

Three members of the order Hemiptera (True Bugs) are stomping around Ohio right now. Boxelder Bugs are appearing in home landscapes. Western Conifer Seed Bugs are appearing on developing conifer cones, and Magnolia Leaf-Footed Bugs are appearing on the seed pods of their namesake host.
