Box Elder Bugs
I can't believe I missed last weekand almost missed today too!
I'm sorry to be so LITERAL today. I prefer to think OUTSIDE THE BOX, but I'm in a rush today ... getting ready for my Photoshop Elements class ... so I 'Googled' these images. I'll visit later when I get home this afternoon. Hope you each have a delightful day!

Fascinating post! I had not heard of this type of insect before. I wonder if we have them up here?
My entry is here
Stop by if you have a moment. Have a great week ahead!
Oh dear, I remember these bugs from my childhood. They used to gather on the house in the fall. They used to creep me out; I haven't seen one for years .....
just getting a small dose of my friend -- gt a sprained wrist so cant stay long. always nice 2cu tho. *lovies*
A bug that matches the tree! How chic is that? LOL Happy Hot.
Ah yes, Box Elder bugs. I don't miss them much.
Hope you learn something new and fun in class today!
Ugh, I don't like bugs, box(ed) or otherwise!
I've never heard of that tree or bugs before. Great HOT post! :o)
I would love to sit under that tree with a good book and a glass of Lemonade. Not if those bugs were there, though. ;)
Cool! I love the tree.
We learn so much through blogging!! I didn't do HoT today and didn't post until late. Busy day!
Yikes! I hope I never meet that bug face to face.
Hope you had a great class :)
Love the Cummings quote.
I don't think the box elder bugs that live in Utah look like either of the ones you pictured. I'll see if I can get a picture of one to compare.
They are rather benign bugs. They don't bite, gather in large groups, or move fast enough to be sneaky. Those are all good traits in a bug, as far as I'm concerned.
I like your choices for todays Heads or Tails. Very original.
Hope your week is going good so far.
I'm going to go do a little bloghopping today in case we are given evacuation notice over the weekend.
I have a Thursday blog scheduled to post tonight at 5PM, and I have a special gift for you then.
To everyone – I’m delighted you all visited yesterday and shared your thoughts about my ‘last minute’ Box Elder (tree & bugs) HoTs post while I was gone. After class I met a friend … then ran errands … so I got home much later than usual, and (as a result) … I didn’t have time to visit anyone. I do intend to ‘blog hop’ in a little while (after responding to comments and creating a post here.
Sue – I’m happy to have shared something you weren’t aware of.
Quiet Paths – How interesting … thanks for sharing your experience.
Chuckie – Sorry to hear about your wrist, but happy you dropped by to say ‘howdy’ ;--)
Karen (at My Opinion Counts) – I thought it was a fun combination too. I’m glad you found it ‘chic’ LOL
Vixen – Actually … we’re learning about ‘adjustment layers’ and ‘filters’ in PSE class and it’s amazing what dramatic effects can be achieved. I shared a few at Sacred Ruminations this morning if you’d like to see them.
Akelamalu – Heheh … I’m with you! Luv the pun ;--)
Tammy – Thanks. I’m always pleased to share something new and/or enlightening.
Skittles – I’m with you on THAT ;--)
Mama Zen – I thought it was an ‘attractive’ tree too.
Linda – Isn’t that the truth! I do understand BUSY … seems like the story of my life lately.
Sandy C – I do love the PSE classes … though I’m a bit on ‘overload’ and need to find some time to practice so I don’t lose track of all we’re learning before new stuph is introduced. This advanced class is one I might decide to take again … and again. LOL
Jo (a retired teacher) – Thanks for providing a bit more info on these ‘bugs’ … I didn’t have time to do any research and still make it to my class on time, but I’m sure it’s available online.
Betty – What a lovely thing to say! I do TRY to think outside the box for HoTs whenever possible.
Hootin’ Anni – I thought of you yesterday when I heard the storm’s path had shifted. I’m praying for everyone in Ike’s path … hoping for the best. How lovely to anticipate what you might have for me … I can hardly wait ;--)
To all again – Thanks again for your comments and I hope you’re all having a wonderful Wednesday. I'll be visiting in a little while ... as soon as time permits.
Hugs and blessings,
Cool post, Storyteller!! :-)
Tina Coruth – Thanks … glad you enjoyed it and thanks for stopping by ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
