Neat.
Very nice "in situ" image of these. I'd recommend that maybe on the home page we put this image up during boxedler bug "season," so visitors will be amazed that we are so in tune with what they are seeking to identify:-)

Good idea!
I think that's a good idea. When is the boxelder bug season? I know I have seen and collected quite a few recently. Thank you!
