Box elder bugs are typically about half an inch long and dark brown in color. They often have red veins on their wings. These bugs are not harmful and while they sometimes can harm plants when feeding, they often do not cause any type of major damage. However, they like to camp out in places where humans are often found and they become nuisances. They will hide in the walls during cooler months and then come out to feed when it is warm. Because of this you may often find these bugs in your and around your house in fairly large numbers.
