They are commonly found in the United States and Canada, where boxelder trees provide food and shelter. Their life cycle begins with eggs that hatch into red nymphs and develop into full-sized adults. They usually do not bother people, but may enter homes in cold weather, and predators like ladybugs and praying mantises help keep their numbers under control.",{"@graph":69,"@context":116},[70,84,99],{"@type":71,"itemListElement":72},"BreadcrumbList",[73,77,79,82],{"item":74,"name":75,"@type":76,"position":8},"https://docshare.wps.com","Home","ListItem",{"item":78,"name":9,"@type":76,"position":14},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/",{"item":80,"name":25,"@type":76,"position":81},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/comic/",3,{"item":83,"name":65,"@type":76,"position":19},"https://docshare.wps.com/document/boxelder-bugs-solve-each-problem-answer-key/471268/",{"url":83,"name":65,"@type":85,"author":86,"headline":65,"publisher":89,"fileFormat":92,"inLanguage":63,"description":67,"dateModified":93,"datePublished":93,"encodingFormat":92,"isAccessibleForFree":94,"interactionStatistic":95},"DigitalDocument",{"name":87,"@type":88},"Jacob","Person",{"url":74,"name":90,"@type":91},"DocShare","Organization","application/pdf","2026-09-30",true,{"@type":96,"interactionType":97,"userInteractionCount":4},"InteractionCounter",{"@type":98},"ViewAction",{"@type":100,"mainEntity":101},"FAQPage",[102,108,112],{"name":103,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":105},"What colors are boxelder bugs?","Question",{"text":106,"@type":107},"Boxelder bugs are black and red.","Answer",{"name":109,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":110},"What do boxelder bugs eat?",{"text":111,"@type":107},"They primarily eat boxelder tree seeds and sometimes the leaves of other trees like maple and ash.",{"name":113,"@type":104,"acceptedAnswer":114},"How do boxelder bugs defend themselves?",{"text":115,"@type":107},"They release a smelly liquid that tastes bad to predators, and they have a distinctive red and black wing pattern.","https://schema.org",{"og:url":83,"og:type":118,"og:title":65,"og:site_name":90,"og:description":67},"article",{"robots":120,"canonical":83},"index,follow",{"doc_id":122,"site_id":62},471268,1790778789,{"code":4,"msg":5,"data":125},{"doc_id":122,"user_id":126,"nickname":87,"user_avatar":127,"doc_module":4,"category_id":24,"category_name":25,"doc_title":65,"doc_description":67,"doc_content":128,"file_id":129,"file_url":130,"file_type":131,"file_size":132,"view_count":4,"is_deleted":4,"is_public":8,"is_downloadable":8,"audit_status":8,"page_count":24,"language":133,"language_code":63,"site_id":62,"html_lang":63,"table_of_contents":134,"faqs":135,"seo_title":136,"seo_description":67,"update_tm":123,"read_time":14},962084931830,"https://ap-avatar.wpscdn.com/davatar_a8503ba1806abce46bf441b54a3ca4cd","Hey kids, let's learn about boxelder bugs!
