Howeer. significant boxelder bug damage to fruit in Utah has not been reported. In the fall they migrate (what you're seeing now). They are generally not to considered injurious ornamentals. Bugs spend their winter as adults in dr. sheltered areas. Adults often become active on warm winter day. and return to their shelter as temperatures drop at the end of the day. In the spring the adults emerge and fly to host plants where the the females deposit small, red. oval eggs on the leaves, bark or other surfaces. Eggs hatch in 10 to 14 days and nymphs begin feeding by sucking fluids from seeds, foliage, twigs or fruit. Nymphs pass through a series of grow th stages with a molt (they shed their skin) occurring between each stage. Eventually they molt to the adult stage, mate and produce a second generation. The second-generatiadults are the ones that overwinter. The benefit of potential attempting to control boxelder bugs on female boxelder trees is questionable.
